The construction industry has the biggest demand and it anticipates a need for around 12,500 new recruits into the wood occupations each year between now and 2011. To enrol on this programme, you don’t need any previous experience of carpentry. The most important requirement is a desire to learn.

Our tutors are available to provide you with all the necessary support to successfully complete your training programme. If this support is required whilst you are not actually attending a practical workshop, you can contact a tutor by telephone. This service is available between 8am and 4pm from Monday to Friday.

You will be spending your time under instruction at our training centre to complete the practical modules that make up your programme. Your progress will be discussed formally at the end of each module and you will have the opportunity to discuss in depth any course related issues with an instructor at any time during the course.
Modules include:

  • Fixing floor joists and laying flooring.
  • Making casement windows.
  • Fixing and stabilising trussed roof rafters.
  • Hanging internal doors.
  • Fixing skirtings.
  • Fixing door linings.
  • Single cut roof construction.
  • Truss roof construction.
  • Effective use of power and machine shop tools.
  • Basic joint construction.
  • Understanding different types of timber.

    Throughout the course you will be building a portfolio of work which will be used as proof of your accomplishments. You will need to provide your own overalls and steel toe-capped working shoes, although these can be provided at cost price should you need them. All necessary tools and materials will be provided.

    After successfully completing the training you will achieve the City & Guilds 6000 series certificate; this qualification can later be used for working towards an NVQ Level 2. The student will also be given the opportunity to attain their CSCS Card; this will be discussed during the course.

    One of the benefits of training with Access Training is that our instructors have vast experience of working in the industry and are only too keen to pass on their knowledge. They can guide you in the right direction for either gaining employment or becoming self-employed.
