About this course

Level 2 Site Carpentry Course in Camden. Classes run at College of North West London Euston Campus, part-time during the day. Entry requirements are assessed on an individual basis, so you don't need to meet a fixed standard before you apply. The course runs over 36 weeks. You'll develop the practical skills carpenters use on site, from roof trusses and joisted floors to stud-work partitioning. Carpentry is one of the most in-demand trades across the UK, with entry-level salaries starting around £17,000 and rising significantly with experience.
