A great skill to learn, as fitting skirting boards neatly can really lift a room and ensure a professional finish

Detailed Itinerary

1. You will start off by learning how to build a carpenter’s work horse. This will teach you many of the carpentry skills that you will put into practice whilst completing your training with us. You will also be able to use the workhorse throughout your training with us, and you can take it home with you at the end of the course and use it on jobs for years to come

2. Your tutor will then demonstrate how to build a stud wall with a door opening. You will complete this task and it will form the basis for the next stage of training, which is to learn how to assemble and fit your door frame

3. Your tutor will show you how to use the hammer and chisel to successfully fit doors. You will be given lots of time to practice this skill, and once you have mastered this tricky task you will fit your hinges on your door & frame

4. Once the door is in situ, you will be shown how to make any necessary adjustments by using a carpenter plane. When this is completed, and you have successfully hung your door, you will then move onto fitting your door furniture. This will once again be demonstrated, and you will practice this process until mastered and are able to do it yourself, on your own doors.

5. Moreover, as part of the previous job, you will also fit an architrave around your door frame to finish the job off and produce a truly professional look

6. Once that is completed, you will move onto other common carpentry tasks, such as fitting skirting boards around internal & external angles

What happens after?

Upon completion of the course, we offer an in-house Certificate of Competence from our approved training centre. If you choose to pursue a career path in carpentry, following your course, you will need a CSCS card to have access and work on a building site. To obtain a CSCS card, you must pass the Health & Safety CSCS test.

For CSCS card training, and Health & Safety courses for CSCS, feel free to check out our 1 Day Site Safety Course (CSCS test incl.). However, for pursuing a career in carpentry right from the very beginning, we would instead recommend hopping on our Level 2 Bricklaying Course, which goes in depth to the theoretical side of carpentry, giving you more valuable knowledge of the trade as a whole, alongside loads of practical experience! The Level 1 Carpentry course is also a great option, as it goes in depth to the more advanced side of carpentry, however it remains beginner-friendly and accessible to working adults due to lasting only 10 days, which is plenty of time to gain deeper knowledge of the trade, alongside loads of practical experience!
