DurationThe Course in Detail
This occupation includes two different options and you will either work on a construction site as an Advanced Site Carpenter or in a workshop as an Advanced Architectural Joiner.
Advanced Site Carpenters work on building sites in the construction of domestic and commercial properties, preparing and installing complex and bespoke building components. You would prepare, construct and erect irregular and complex roof structures.
Advanced Architectural Joiners are employed in a workshop creating complex building components by setting out, marking out and create assembled products requiring advanced skilled work including the full range of woodworking machines. There will often be a need for refurbishment or repair work of bespoke pieces.
