Certificate
The Certificate II in Building and Construction Pre-apprenticeship, carpentry stream, is for both school leavers and mature-age students who wish to build their practical experience and knowledge to ensure their employment opportunities as an apprentice carpenter.
To be eligible, students must be at least 16 years of age.
Prior to enrolment or commencement of training you will be required to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment and a pre-training interview.
These will assist with determining your suitability to the course, verify your training plan, and identify any learning support needs.
This comprehensive course covers all aspects of domestic carpentry and is the perfect starting point for a career in the building and construction industry. Our pre-apprenticeship course, specialising in carpentry, covers all skills and knowledge required for domestic building, at the entry level, including all the tools and equipment used by carpenters.
Carpenters are the key players in domestic house construction - they're the first on site, and the last to leave.
While carpenters have their specific skills and tasks to perform in the building process, carpenters must have knowledge of all other trades, as a carpenter's work often accommodates the other trades who follow them.
You may be able to reduce the number of units to be studied in your chosen course by measuring skills acquired through work, life experiences or qualifications obtained from formal studies or training. AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by another registered training organisation will be recognised by Holmesglen.
