This course is delivered over 4 years under an Apprenticeship Training Pathway, meaning you must be employed as an apprentice to train with us. You will combine practical gap training with on-the-job experience to gain a qualification to work as a carpenter.

Learn how to construct, install, finish and repair structures and fixtures in commercial and residential constructions and developments.

Work with a range of tools and equipment to cut and shape mostly timber and steel to construct frames and roofs, install windows, doors, floors, fixtures and fittings and erect and dismantle formwork for footings and slabs on the ground.

To achieve the nationally recognised qualification, you will need to complete 34 units of competency, including 27 core units and 7 elective units (choose from the units we offer in the units of competency list below) whilst being employed in an apprenticeship.

Upon successful completion, you will be qualified to work as a carpenter in either residential or commercial, or formwork.

We will also provide you with a comprehensive portfolio of your work completed during your apprenticeship, to support further employment and education in the building and construction industry.
