This course introduces you to the carpentry and joinery work environment within the construction industry. You will learn how to use hand tools as well as portable power tools as you master the art of creating woodworking joints, frames, doors and windows.

You will learn about components and materials, the unloading and storage of timber and sheet materials, and how to put up access equipment and scaffolding.

Aspiring Joiner, Rob, completed this course which helped him to secure a great apprenticeship with established construction company, FSH Group.

More information

The course will start in September and will take one year to complete.

This course will take place at our STEM Centre Campus, Pocket Nook Street, St Helens, WA9 1TT.

During this course, you will cover the following units:
