For those who wish to work with wood, either as a carpenter or a joiner, as part of their future career.
Units include:
You will complete a minimum of 30 hours of on-the-job experience within the industry and have the opportunity to work on many live projects in the community. In recent years, carpentry students helped to convert a double-decker bus into a much-needed shelter for local homeless people. You will also benefit from site visits, industry talks and demonstrations from experts.
A minimum of four GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including English.
This course combines both theory and practical sessions. Assessment will come in the form of multiple-choice questions, either paper based or online, a logbook of work and various practical assignments covering the performance outcomes.
Attendance is three days a week, typically 9am-5pm. This is a one-year qualification and a high level of attendance is necessary in order to successfully achieve the qualification.
You can progress to a Level 2 Diploma in Carpentry and Joinery.
