SkillBuild

SkillBuild, delivered by CITB, is the largest multi-trade skills competition in the UK for construction trainees and apprentices.

SkillBuild National Final 2024

The SkillBuild National Final 2024 is a result of the UK and devolved nations' best apprentices and learners battling it out against each other in the SkillBuild Regional Qualifiers to become one of the top eight highest scoring competitors in their trade. You can view the Regional results here.

After over 1,000 registrations across 10 construction trades and 19 regional heats, the top eight are due to compete at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes to battle it out for a final time to be crowned the winner in their trade at the SkillBuild National Final.

The competitors will need to construct a project created by our expert panel of judges, over three days, within an 18-hour time frame. The competition project will test their knowledge, skills and abilities and will be marked by our expert panel of judges at the end of the three-day competition. Competitors will also need to be able to work under pressure within strict timelines, ensure they adhere to health and safety protocols and will need to impress with their talent and finesse.

We wish all of our National Finalists the best of luck and we look forward to seeing you all in November! Tickets for the SkillBuild National Final 2024 will be available on this page shortly.
