Who this course is for

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

Have you completed a Level 1 carpentry and joinery course?

If so this course is for you!

The Level 2 Diploma in Carpentry and Joinery is designed for students who want to be fully qualified in carpentry and joinery within the construction industry. It covers topics related to quantities and communications and construction technology and will provide you with the necessary practical skills and knowledge to progress to a Level 3 Diploma and possible employment.
