EMPLOYEE CASE STUDY
George Paynter, Ridgepoint Homes: NHBC's Apprenticeship scheme
- Name
- George Paynter
- Company
- Ridgepoint Homes
- Apprenticeship
- Construction Site Supervisor
George began his apprenticeship with Ridgepoint Homes in April 2021, after previously working in IT sales.
He says:
“The apprenticeship is great. I am beginning to take further responsibility on site and am really throwing myself out of my comfort zone.
“The tutors have provided continuous support throughout. Completing my first plots for handover was a big challenge, but I have thrived on it and received positive feedback from managers and mentors. I have also achieved a high average on my coursework which I am extremely happy with!
“Take the apprenticeship route, 100%. I am learning on and off the job and feeling more confident in my role each day.”
I’ve enjoyed the course and I really liked the mix of one-to-one support and the chance to learn on your own.
It’s been great and the NHBC assessors very helpful. The online learning portal has been easy to use and is where we can upload examples of our work and complete tests and coursework.
I have enjoyed learning about the house-building processes. It’s filled so many gaps I had in my knowledge and it’s good to now be able to walk around the site being able to apply this new knowledge in reality.
