Stained Glass Craftsperson Apprenticeship (Lifelong Learning)
The Stained-Glass Craftsperson Apprenticeship programme has been developed in collaboration with employers to ensure that they meet current career progression needs in an industry that is central to maintaining the traditional craft of stained-glass.
This innovative Government funded programme will help apprentices develop their professional and technical skills through a combination of university study and work-based learning.
The apprentice will develop practical skills and knowledge in the research, design, craft, construction, and fitting of architectural and stained glass.
This can include conservation and restoration of stained glass as well as working on new commissions or architectural work. Projects range from small to large-scale public and private commissions, which can involve the research, design, and construction of new and existing stained glass within historical and/or contemporary contexts in public or domestic buildings.
This programme is accredited by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical education (IFATE).
