Level 2 Apprenticeship in Signmaking

UPDATED 20150625 08:27:31

The Signmaking Apprenticeship Framework has been designed to meet the requirements of the signmaking industry. This Apprenticeship deals with the design, production and installation of all sorts of signs, from those displayed on company entrances to the advertising hoardings you see around football pitches. The signmaking process involves many diverse skills, from graphic design through to electrical engineering and incorporates materials such as perspex, vinyl, plastic, metal and glass. Various methods are used to produce lettering for signs, depending on the project for example, computer-controlled routers for cutting out moulded glass fibre lettering. Screen-printing may also be used to produce posters, while traditional sign writing could involve designing by hand and painting with special brushes and enamel paint. An apprentice could be employed as a signmaker, sign installer, quality technician, or manufacturing technician.
