What will I learn?

This is a carpentry pre-trade course where students will complete a range of small projects as well as building a three-bedroom house. The course runs three days per week, students are also expected to undertake industry work experience and study for a further two days each week. A large percentage of graduates move onto construction industry apprenticeships after completing the programme. The purpose of this qualification is to provide the wider construction trades sector with work-ready people able to enter the construction trades as a labourer or an apprentice who have developed essential transferable skills and underpinning knowledge applicable to a wide range of construction-related trades. This qualification is suitable for people new to, or intending to enter, the construction trades sector. The strands recognise the knowledge and skills required of entrants to allied trades, or the carpentry trades. The allied trades include painting and decorating, roofing, interior systems and exterior plastering.
