About the course

This occupation is found in both the new build and refurbishment construction sector. The construction industry is central to creating the homes, schools, hospitals, energy and transport infrastructure society needs. There is growing demand for carpenters and joiners to help meet the need for the transition to modern methods of construction and sustainability.

Pathway 1 – Site Carpenter: will normally work on a building site, or in domestic and commercial premises, preparing and fixing building components, from the erection of a new building, through to the installation of all necessary fictures and fittings, as well as repairs and maintenance.

Pathway 2 – Joiner: will normally be employed in a workshop producing timber-based building components and other architechtural products, such as doors, windows, units, and staircases.

Pathway 3 – Wood Product Manufacturing Operative: completing work that is comparable to a joiner, but focussed on the production of specialist timber-based building components such as window frames, fire doors, I-beams, etc.
