Course overview
This course is a natural progression if you have completed a Level 1 course in Carpentry/Joinery, or if you are completing an NVQ2 in Site Carpentry as the two qualifications can be gained together. On this course you will develop specialist carpentry techniques needed to become a successful professional site carpenter and improve your knowledge of health and safety in the industry. You will learn about the first fixing components such as floors and roofs, second fix components such as skirting and architrave, and carcassing components such as stairs. You will also discover how to maintain non-structural components. You will learn in a specialist construction training environment using industry-standard equipment and be taught by tutors with extensive experience in the trade. (If you have not previously studied on the Level 1 course and want to go directly to Level 2, you will need to cover some units from Level 1. This course focuses on site carpentry rather than joinery).
