Course Overview

Students are fortunate to have a dedicated facility for construction craft in wood occupations at both campuses, with workshops that are well-equipped with a range of carpentry tools. Well-appointed classrooms and computer facilities enhance the workshops and provide a link between practical and knowledge aspects of the course. You will undertake activities such as producing woodworking joints, using carpentry tools including power tools and first fix carpentry.

Assessment Methods

Practical coursework will be marked through set practical tasks. Underpinning knowledge is assessed via internally set test papers and online exams; however, there will be a need to complete a multiplechoice test that is externally set by the awarding body. This course is made up of practical and theory elements, which means you can work at your own pace to complete the modules required to achieve the qualification. During the course, you are also required to complete 30 hours of trade-related work experience.

Progression Options

On successful completion of this carpentry study programme, you could progress to the Level 2 in Carpentry & Joinery, a Construction T Level or the Carpentry & Joinery Apprenticeship, if suitable employment is secured.
