This class represents a bit of a departure from the structure of our 10 week classes. In those, the heavy emphasis is on teaching new skills and information, and the class projects are seen as a hands on manner of practicing those skills.
If you’ve already learned basic carpentry in our Bootcamp, take those skills and learn how to construct a small home in 6 weeks in our carpentry class. In this class, you will actively build a small house structure from foundation to roof.
Our training programs are developed so that our carpenters and millwrights meet any challenge or opportunity encountered by our employers.
A weekly evening class, our Basic Skills Course is designed to provide a strong foundation for beginners, helping build excellent fundamental woodworking skills.
