About this course

Free Level 2 Site Carpentry Course in Hull. Classes run full-time during the day at Hull College, over one year. You'll need four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including Maths and English, to enrol. The course covers the theory and practical skills carpenters use on site, including roofing and timber framing, all within the college environment. You don't need workplace evidence to complete it, unlike an NVQ. This City and Guilds level 2 site carpentry qualification suits those aiming to work in construction.

Who this course is for

Working with wood is a skill that is highly valued in the construction industry. The Level 2 Carpentry and Joinery Study Programme is an intermediate course for those looking at becoming woodworkers. Aimed at those looking to work in the construction environment before they begin working as a tradesman, it can be completed successfully in the College environment without the need for workbased evidence, unlike an NVQ. Youll learn the theory and hands-on practical skills in roofing, stairs, doors, frames, windows, and health and safety. With our Employability Skills Passport, youll also cover skills that employers demand; you will learn to work safely and as a team. The programme is validated by NOCN and the CITB, and follows national standards. You can continue onto an advanced apprenticeship or find employment within the construction sector as a junior, or onto a professional construction course.
