How does the SkillBuild competition work

The Regional Qualifiers run UK-wide, from April to July each year. These one-day events bring together apprentices and trainees who complete a set task relevant to their trade. Once the Qualifiers have finished, the marks are collated and the eight highest-scoring competitors in each specialist skill go through to the next round – the SkillBuild National Final.

For additional information see Policies and procedures. 

The SkillBuild competition categories are:

  • Bricklaying
  • Carpentry
  • Furniture and Cabinet Making
  • Joinery
  • Painting and Decorating
  • Plastering
  • Drylining
  • Roof Slating and Tiling
  • Stonemasonry
