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.

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.
