Carpentry and Joinery

Our carpentry and joinery qualifications are suitable for an Australian building apprenticeship pathway, qualifying you for work on both residential and commercial construction sites. You will also qualify for more advanced building and construction courses and for further training towards your builder’s licence.

Our lecturers will teach you to use carpentry materials, tools and equipment to install windows, doors, lining, panelling, moulding and exterior cladding, and how to erect and dismantle suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls. You will gain the skills and knowledge to construct frames, trusses, eaves and roofs, and to use static machines to manufacture joinery components.
