*This is a progression only course. There is no direct entry without first completing a Level 1 Carpentry qualification.
In this course, you’ll continue to develop your carpentry skills, learning advanced techniques that will allow you to gain employment in the industry. This will include flooring and roofing, carpentry maintenance, and using hand and power tools including circular saws.
You’ll gain all the knowledge and skills required to become a skilled Site Carpenter, plus you’ll benefit from trips, guest speakers, and a work placement to give you real experience in your future career.
You will need a relevant Level 1 qualification (merit or distinction grade) including GCSE English and maths grades 4-9, or equivalent.
Once completed you may be able to progress into an apprenticeship or entry level employment in the construction industry.
College is not just about your course – it’s an opportunity to have fun, meet new people and explore your interests!
