Suitability Practical, professional or purely for pleasure our students come from every profession, and from all over the world. There is no upper age limit and the courses are designed to cater for those changing career (at whatever age) as well as the school leaver.
Course objectives An intensive 8 week course teaching students about wood & working with wood, from trees & wood selection through to jointing, laminating and bending. The course is highly practical and, while students achieve a City & Guilds 6217-05 or 6217-06 level 1 certificate at the end of the course, the syllabus is much wider than that required by City & Guilds - reflected by the additional BBA certificate.
Requirements
A mature attitude, motivation and above all a clear enthusiasm and willingness to pursue the highest standards are our only prerequisites for successful entry. We assess each applicant's suitability and potential.

Course programme

Woodworking Skills
Woodworking Skills Course
 
Assessment pieces are completed throughout the course.  City & Guilds require nine pieces of joinery, mainly simple joints, and one more complex piece.  What students make depends on whether they decide to follow the 'Carpentry and Joinery' or 'Furniture Making' route.  On the 'Carpentry and Joinery' option the assessment piece is one of the following:
 
  • Nail Box

  • Pair of gallows brackets

  • Garden gate

  • Built-in cupboard
    On the 'Furniture Making' option the assessment piece is one of:

  • Bedside cabinet

  • Kitchen stool

  • Magazine rack

  • Occasional table                                                                            .

    These pieces, with the nine simple joints, are assessed to City & Guilds standards. 
    A Boat Building Academy certificate is also awarded at the end of the course.  Students, in addition to the above City & Guilds assessment pieces, also work on a personal project piece which counts toward the BBA certificate.  Because of the small size of the school, and a low student to Instructor ratio, we can allow some flexibility in what students choose as their personal project.
     
    Student projects are completed during the second half of the course.  The project could be a toolbox based on a classic apprenticeship piece or something a student would like to complete for their home.  Whatever the student chooses to produce it must be a piece of work that demonstrates the skills they have learnt on the course.  Should a student wish to enter the construction industry after qualifying, the student project piece is an excellent practical representation of the standard of their work. 
     
    Practical sessions form the majority of the course, although a small amount of time is spent in the classroom.  Instructors demonstrate all work 'hands-on'.  Comprehensive handouts cover all aspects of the training, both theory and practical.
     
    Skill areas covered by the course include:
     
    Timber types (including sheet materials) and preparation
     
    Cutting joints:

  • lengthening - scarf joints

  • widening - butt, loose tongue, tongue and groove, dowel

  • mortise and tenons

  • dovetails - lapped, through and mitred

  • housings

  • halving joints

    Bending, laminating and rounding timber (including steaming)
     
    Woodworking adhesives from PVA to epoxy
     
    Fixings
    Use of power tools:

  • router

  • biscuit jointer

  • mortise machine

    Introduction to large woodwork machinery and its uses
     
    Making a rod
    Looking at how to aid woodworking processes; specifically measuring, laying out and marking out.  These techniques help prevent errors and also make duplicating projects much easier.

    On Boat Building Academy

    Provider description
    Practical, professional or purely for pleasure - come and learn boatbuilding, woodworking, or a variety of skills at the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis. Our boat building training courses are ‘hands-on’, taught by experts and vary in length from 1 day to 38 weeks. 38 week course in Boat Building, Maintenance and Support, City & Guilds Level III. Teaching students to build boats to professional standards and offering some students the opportunity to build their own boats as part of the course. Now offering an eight week woodworking course. Based on the same philosophy as our boat building training, the course is intensive, 90% practical and City & Guilds certificated (but with a far wider syllabus). Because it is an 8 week course students minimise expense and loss of earnings while learning advanced skills in the shortest possible time. If you want to change career, learn a new skill, take a sabbatical doing something completely different, need to sharpen your existing skills, have retired and can now do all the things you want to do...or if you just like wood...then we might have the course for you. Range of 1-5 day short courses from Basic Woodwork to Wooden Boat Restoration and from Sail Making to Diesel Engines.
