Richard Jacob’s review, published in Building Design, highlights the importance of the Architecture Apprenticeship Handbook as a vital resource for the architectural profession. Written by Daniel Goodricke and Luke Murray, the Handbook provides detailed guidance on navigating the apprenticeship route to architectural qualification – a pathway that combines practical, on-the-job training with formal education, offering an alternative to the traditional Part 1-3 process. Richard underscores the Handbook’s value for both apprentices and mentors, noting its clear structure and practical advice. With sections covering everything from selecting the right employer and training provider to richly illustrated case studies that showcase real-world projects, the Handbook serves as a comprehensive tool for those embarking on or mentoring within this pathway. The review emphasises how the case studies, aligned with RIBA’s Themes and Values for Architectural Education, demonstrate the breadth and depth of apprentices’ work, illustrating the professional skills they acquire through applied experience. For architectural practices, the Handbook is an invaluable resource to support apprentices and promote a more inclusive, flexible route to qualification. Richard Jacob’s review makes it clear that this resource is not just informative, but essential for anyone involved in architecture apprenticeships, offering insights that can strengthen mentoring relationships and contribute to the development of the next generation of architects. A must-read for those looking to broaden access to the profession and support sustainable learning. https://lnkd.in/e3YZpYxy #architecture #bookreviews #apprenticeships RIBA Publishing

Richard Jacob praises a new handbook as a key resource for apprentices and mentors in architecture. The Architecture Apprenticeship pathway is a relatively new method for achieving professional architectural qualification, combining on-the-job training with an employer and off-the-job training with a certified training provider. As a route to qualification, it is very different from the traditional and well-known Part 1-3 process. The Architecture Apprenticeship Handbook serves as a dedicated resource to explain and outline the Architecture Apprenticeship pathway in detail. The Handbook is aimed at early-career professionals or those considering a career in architecture and demonstrates the benefits and advantages of the apprenticeship pathway. It also honestly describes the potential downsides and answers key questions that may arise when potential students consider this route. In addition, the Handbook aims to widen access and encourage diversification within the profession by highlighting the flexibility and accommodation apprenticeships offer to different personal and professional circumstances. Written by Daniel Goodricke, first-year leader of the Architect (Level 7) Degree Apprenticeship at Northumbria University, and Luke Murray, Architecture BA (Hons) course leader at Ravensbourne University London, the Handbook has been authored by two chartered architects and educators with ties to several well-known architectural academic institutions. Both authors have been involved in the development of architecture apprenticeships with training providers, giving them in-depth knowledge of the apprenticeship pathway and its requirements. https://lnkd.in/e3YZpYxy #architecture #apprenticeships #bookreviews RIBA Publishing
