COURSE

OVERVIEW

Throughout this practical based course with theory lessons, you will gain an understanding into the bench joinery industry and how it is used widely in the construction industry to aid in completing the desired product. By the end of the course, you will have learnt the techniques involved in completing basic joinery skills.
During the practical workshop sessions, you will learn how to create basic woodwork joints for example skirting boards and how to adapt your work for different types of timber. Our skilled tutors will teach you how to use a range of hand and portable power tools. This course also teaches you how to fit hinges and locks.
Theory lessons will develop your knowledge of the health, safety and welfare in the construction and associated industries. You will also learn to effectively communicate information with colleagues to produce the desired products. You will learn about technical drawing and how to create designs and then make them into products.
Our joinery students all have the opportunity to work with a range of employers to help them both develop their skills and understanding of the industry. Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing and Travis Perkins are just two of the local employers that we work with.
