Each competitor will compete in the SkillBuild Regional Qualifiers, run UK-wide, from April to June each year. These one-day events bring together apprentices and learners, with the overall eight highest-scoring competitors in each specialist skill going through to the next round – the SkillBuild National Final. Results from each Regional Qualifier will be uploaded to our leadership board within 48 hours of your competition finishing.
Once all of the Regional Qualifier have finished, we will announce the top eight scoring competitors in each category across the UK. These eight competitors will qualify to compete at the SkillBuild National Final.
