About this course

Free Level 2 Site Carpentry Course in Wolverhampton. Evening site carpentry classes run at City of Wolverhampton College Wellington Road Campus, so you can fit study around work or other commitments. The course takes one year part-time and covers construction technology, quantities, communications, and the practical carpentry skills you need to work in the construction industry. To enrol, you'll normally need a Level 1 Diploma in Carpentry and Joinery, though relevant industry experience is considered on an individual basis.

Who this course is for

Do you want to continue on your journey to become a carpenter and joiner?
