Tom Cowburn, Redrow: NHBC's Apprenticeship scheme
- Name

- Apprenticeship
- Construction Site Supervisor
Tom began his apprenticeship with Redrow Homes in July 2021, after deciding on a complete career change during the pandemic.
He says:
“Having the opportunity to retrain, in my 30s, and follow a brand-new career path has been an incredible experience. I’ve learnt huge amounts and seeing the journey of a house from start to completion and building relationships with customers is so rewarding."
“I started this journey with no prior experience in construction, but the tutors are incredibly supportive, and I feel confident the skills I have gained will help me progress my career into site management."
“It’s also great that you’re not tied to term times, like some other apprenticeships, which means I will have my qualification in just 18 months!"
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.
