The Insitute of Apprenticeships & Technical Education (a government-run apprenticeship organisation) has long had a Museum and Gallery Technician apprenticeship program but it has laid dormant till now as the Building and Craft College have become the provider of this program. 

The Museum and Gallery Technician apprenticeship programme is designed to give students who are employed as museum or gallery-based technicians the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in a demanding and challenging sector. You must be full-time employed to take part in the apprenticeship program as your employer sponsors you. 

The programme will develop practice related to activities such as event/exhibition preparation, joinery and related fabrication methods, artefact movement and storage and environment control together with the development of those behaviours necessary to function effectively as a team member in a dynamic workplace.
