    Brief

    This project aims to establish a comprehensive baseline dataset of heritage construction training and qualifications currently available in England. Heritage construction skills are critical for maintaining and retrofitting England's 5.5 million traditional buildings built before 1919, yet the industry faces severe skills shortages due to complex and fragmented training provision. The study will map current training provision, identify participating organizations and learners, analyze completion rates, and assess geographic and occupational gaps in heritage content coverage. Deliverables include a detailed picture of the heritage construction training landscape, a repeatable methodology for future assessments, trend analysis, and identification of at-risk qualifications. This evidence base will enable more targeted advocacy and strategic interventions to strengthen education and training provision, ultimately improving the supply of skilled heritage construction workers at national and regional levels.
