Overview

This course will equip you with the necessary theory and practical skills to achieve a construction industry recognised qualification.

On this course you will cover:

  • Principles of construction
  • Planning and preparation for architectural joinery production
  • Use of woodworking machinery
  • Health and safety
  • Architectural joinery component production
  • Assembly and finishing of architectural joinery products

You will have a combination of written, online and practical tests.

This course is ideal if you enjoy working with wood, working as part of a team and are self-motivated. Also, this course is a great choice if you want to develop your skills and to progress into the carpentry and joinery trade.

Future Steps: On completion, you could progress to an Apprenticeship in Architectural Joinery or Site Carpentry. For an Apprenticeship you need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve the requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme. You could also progress to a T Level. You will be required to demonstrate that you are enthusiastic and committed to succeeding.

Entry Requirements

You will need one grade 4 or above in either GCSE English or Maths and a grade 2 in either GCSE English or Maths. You will be required to study GCSE English or Maths alongside your course if you don’t yet have a grade 4 or above in one of those subjects.

Facilities

Additional Costs

You will need to be equipped with basic stationery for all your sessions. You will need to have your own work trousers and safety boots- advice will be given at interview. If you are required to purchase a subject specific course book you will be advised either at interview or at the start of the course. There is a non-refundable Workshop Fee of £35 per full time student per year. This will contribute towards the cost of tools for use in the workshop so that you do not need to provide your own. It will also cover the cost of one Hi-Viz jacket, one pair of safety glasses and one pair of gloves. If you require a CSCS card, the cost will be an additional £58.50.
