Cert in Carpenters

Students in this diploma learn the building trade of carpentry through a blend of classroom theory and applied work. The curriculum is organized to teach the knowledge and skills that employers expect from people who frame, finish and repair structures. Basic coursework in areas like occupational math, which covers fractions, decimals, ratios and measurement conversion, supports the technical training. These calculation skills matter on a job site, where accurate measuring drives the quality of the finished work. Upon completion, graduates hold a carpentry technology diploma and meet the qualifications for entry-level positions. Those positions can be in residential carpentry or in commercial carpentry, which gives graduates a choice of paths depending on whether they prefer working on homes or on larger commercial buildings.
