We’re one of the first fencing companies in the country to begin taking apprentices for our trade. So, if you’re interested in a career in fencing and you want to learn at one of the best in the business, this is an opportunity for you!

What does our fencing apprenticeship scheme offer?

The Knight Fencing apprenticeship scheme is a great opportunity to get expert training (while getting paid), learn the ins and outs of the trade and build a lasting career.

Our apprentices receive on-the-job and off-the-job training, with their progress overseen by their own mentor. Mentors are experienced Knight Fencing staff members and they help to make sure that our learners get a real understanding of the fencing trade and the wide range of key knowledge and practical skills that are required to install fencing to a high standard.

All the time our apprentices are learning they will receive a wage. The working week for apprentices is a maximum of 40 hours and as well as a salary, our learners receive holiday pay.

At the end of the apprenticeship, if our learners show the right application and learning and pass the end of scheme assessment, they will receive a nationally recognised qualification that enables them to get the Association of Fencing Industries Blue FISS/CSCS fence installer card. The card allows holders to work as a fencing installer and is a gateway to a rewarding career.
