Are you working in the building industry and want your carpentry trade qualification? This flexible course will allow you to become a qualified carpenter while working in the construction industry under the supervision of your employer, who is willing to support you as an apprentice.
Build foundational skills as you complete set projects and your own designs in wood. This course can lead to advanced woodwork at Hagley and tertiary study in furniture making, cabinet-making, joinery, and construction.
Students use the same construction/ Joinery workshops that our pre-trade students work in so they are able to see first-hand the types of projects that are carried out by the full-time students.
Our Carpentry programmes will provide you with the hands-on skills you need to start your career as a builder. With our workshop facilities, experienced teachers, industry connections and apprenticeship scheme, you’ll hit the ground running.
This class gives people the opportunity to develop skills and friendships as they work on their own project. Help with any problems is given by the tutor. Woodturning is also available. No recycled timber to be used.
