I LOVED My Building Apprenticeship with BCITO // New Zealand

I had worked in the hospitality sector since I was 16. After doing a stint as a roofing laborer while traveling through North America I fell in love with construction. Upon arrival back to New Zealand, I signed up for a building apprenticeship as a 24-year-old and never looked back.
I worked under an old school builder and we did everything ourselves, from digging foundations to installing the roofs. This gave me a wide range of experience and exposure.
I have since moved on from being a hands-on builder to running the business side of things, but this apprenticeship has given me a good grounding, and life long skills.
Too many people are going out and getting university degrees and I would definitely recommend the trades if you're considering this.
I studied on the job with BCITO

Great to hear your thoughts Josh, currently considering a carpentry apprenticeship at 27. After gaining some experience fencing and working at a boat building company this feels like a great path. Let's dig some holes!!

@nzbuilder 4 года назад

Thanks Bryden, sounds like you've had some good experience already :)

Hey Josh. Really enjoying watching. Seeing your vids makes me see similarities as i also took on building apprenticeship later in life. Fully relate to that sense of satisfaction at seeing a finished job. Also plenty of random small tasks teachs us as builders to roll with faults in design or methodology. Great to see you doing this from roots up.

@nzbuilder 3 года назад

That is awesome, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Captain :)

@dand6072 3 года назад

Hey Josh, great videos I've watched a few now. I'm really interested to know what your experience was like on site in terms of learning to take charge and forming a level of confidence of certain roles to get them signed off in your apprenticeship. I've been an apprentice for 4 years now and just spent 300+ hours building my first home by myself which has been a major learning curve for me but the point in sharing that is to say I'm not green at all. However I'm only 29% signed off after 4 years. My main issue is I'm not getting opertunities onsite to do a lot of the jobs I need in order to prove I can do them myself for Bcito. What was this side of the apprenticeship like for you? And were you given those opportunities, or was there another way to sign modules off in terms of practical competency. Cheers 😊

@nzbuilder 3 года назад

Hey Dan, where abouts in NZ are you based? In my experience with BCITO it did all come together at the end really quickly, and unfortunately there's lots of units that you can't get signed off until you've had the experience I know some apprentices go and do a slab or a retaining wall with another crew to get particular units signed off. When I was going through it I made it really clear to my boss and Training Co-oridinator that I wanted to be proactive about getting signed off, keep asking and pushing to get those units sorted and it will come together :)

@edavidson3364 5 лет назад

how did u cope with working + study?

@nzbuilder 5 лет назад

Hey E, great question, my trick was to pick a regular night of the week to do book work, I think it was Tuesdays. Every Tuesday I would sit down, open the books and do a little bit, sometimes it was only 15mins, other times it was a couple of hours, but it was regular, and this meant that I was always chipping away at it 👍🏻
