About this Course:
This course is designed for people pursuing a career in carpentry across residential and commercial construction. You'll build the practical skills and underpinning knowledge to work safely, interpret plans, measure and set out accurately, select and use tools and materials, and construct, install and repair building components made from timber and other materials. Our carpentry training is hands-on and skills-focused, ensuring students develop confidence using industry-standard tools, equipment and techniques. Throughout the course, we place strong emphasis on workplace health and safety, correct tool use, and the ability to read and interpret plans, drawings and specifications.
