We have structured this Level 1 course in such a way that it works out to approximately 90% hands-on practical and only 10% classroom-based theory, as we will be sending out a reading pack for you to complete most of the theory at home, at your own pace. This way, we manage to offer you great value for your time and money, as it allows you to quickly finish an in-depth course without skimping on the essentials, as nearly all the time you spend with us on this carpentry course will be invested towards being taught practical tasks in the workshops at our local training centre. 

As professional training providers, the most important thing for us is that by the end of the course we will have built your confidence and your ability to start any basic carpentry projects. Here at CBWA we employ only the best tutors: friendly & professional tradespeople who have decades of trade experience. Therefore, our tutors have up to date industry knowledge and lots of experience in training people. 

This course has a maximum of 10 students at a time so that each student gets enough guidance and tuition from our expert tutors, ensuring you complete the course with all of the required knowledge and understanding.  It allows you to ask questions on your mind and get plenty of one-to-one tuition throughout the course.

Award

This is a fantastic introductory carpentry course that could be the first step towards an extremely rewarding career. In the 10 Day Accredited Carpentry course you will undertake 2 NOCN practical Carpentry assessments and one health and safety test. 

This NOCN award is built to support YOUR professional progression to further learning, and to ultimately get you working in the construction sector. If you feel like this is the right career path for you, this course is the perfect opportunity to be introduced to the trade in a more relaxed manner, while not having to fully commit to the Level 2 Carpentry Course as you gain more experience. 

To achieve the NOCN Level 1 Award in Carpentry, learners must complete the following units:

While the journey to become a professional tradesperson can be different for everyone, the ideal career path to becoming fully qualified would often resemble the steps below: 

Aside from the time commitment, there is a noticeable difference between our Intensive, Level 1 and Level 2 courses.
 
If the 5 day course is a great workshop opportunity to finesse your DIY skills and learn face to face how to do your own projects with ease, and the 8-week course at our local academy is the best way to become a qualified professional carpenter in record time, this 10 day course is the perfect middle ground: packed with the very same DIY skills, while covering some of the theoretical aspects needed to work on site, it allows you to get a wider grasp of the carpentry trade without feeling neither lacking nor overbearing on your time schedule.
 
While our 8-week carpentry course is more than enough to become a qualified carpenter, and enables you to further pursue an NVQ and a blue CSCS card, the advantage of this course is that the 2 extra weeks from this Level 1 course can potentially make a big difference when it comes to your employability, skills, knowledge and confidence as a tradesperson, and will most definitely be putting you ahead of your peers who have only finished the Level 2 Diploma. For that reason, if you start as an absolute beginner, it is always worth pursuing the Level 1 Award before moving onto the Level 2 Diploma.
 
If you choose to pursue the Level 2 with us as well after having finished your Level 1, we also offer a budget-friendly discount of £100 to upskill to the next level!
 
Upon completion, this NOCN Level 1 industry recognised course will grant you a wide understanding of the skills and knowledge required on how to start working as a carpenter, as the course is specifically designed for students with little to no experience. Most students leave this course and go on site to get experience working alongside a team of carpenters and gain hands-on site experience, or hop straight on a Level 2 course to become fully qualified.
 
If you do not wish to pursue a career in carpentry, or if the theoretical side of this course does not interest you at all but you still wish to learn carpentry for your DIY projects or home renovations, we recommend our Intensive Carpentry Course, which covers the most important techniques of the basic practical skills needed to complete carpentry works. It's an incredibly practical and cost-effective choice for personal projects.
