Carpentry Framing and Forming Foundation

Training prepares students for entry-level employment in the carpentry trade. Basic theory and related information along with hands-on shop practice enable students to become competent in basic carpentry tasks. The Program consists of 2 courses:

• Carpentry Framing and Forming Level 1 covers all the technical material included in the first level of carpentry apprenticeship in-school training and supplements it with more extensive practical experience. This course prepares students for entry-level employment with contractors working in residential construction.
• Carpentry Framing and Forming Level 2 covers all of the technical material included in the second level of carpentry apprenticeship in-school training and supplements it with more extensive practical experience. This course prepares students for entry-level employment with contractors working in commercial construction.

Upon successful completion of the program, students can seek employment as apprentices. The Industry Training Authority has approved this program as meeting the technical training for years 1 and 2 of the Carpentry Apprenticeship and 450 work-based hours credit toward their time in trade.
