8 Week C&G Carpentry Certificate & NVQ

Training for Carpentry C&G 6217-02 And NVQ level 2 - 8 Week Course

Able Skills has structured this 8 weeks of carpentry training for those of you who are looking to change career and to train to move into work undertaking site carpentry.

Able Skills is lucky enough to have the trained and experienced staff in place to ensure that you finish your time here with more than enough knowledge to move you forward within the carpentry industry.




Due to popular demand, Able Skills has now allocated an entire training centre to learning all aspects of carpentry skills including the correct use of hand and power tools, bench work, first fix, second fix and developing your full understanding of all site related health and safety. We also have space allocated for the assembly of the larger assessments and also an area dedicated to Kitchen Fitting.

Carpentry City & Guilds And NVQ

We have devised a training course which will provide you with a City & Guilds carpentry qualification and a very in depth understanding of what is required to gain an NVQ. You will understand what the correct path to gaining qualifications (NVQs) is:

Key points are:

1. Quality training, good enough and detailed enough to set you up with the required industry skills.
2. A qualification which will be your entry into your chosen industry
3. Training on all NVQ units
4. Learner pack
5. Portfolio

Why 8 Weeks?

We feel that 10 days isn't enough time to teach you detailed carpentry skills to allow you to work safely and competently so we have allocated 8 weeks. An initial period of 6 weeks will see you achieve a Carpentry City & Guilds qualification and then to build on this and offer you as much reality as possible, we have allocated a further 2 weeks.

After 8 weeks of intensive hands on training, we are confident that once you are working within the industry, NVQ achievement will be easier for you and should not prove as difficult as you may think.

Warning

We are aware that there are many training providers who are advertising that you can achieve NVQs within 10 or 15 days, this simply isn't possible. You cannot expect to be close to being competent enough in just 10 or 15 days and to believe that you would be is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Please choose your Training Provider carefully

The truth is, NVQs are assessments carried out, at work, to establish your skill level and to establish just how competent you are in your Carpentry abilities. NVQ's cannot be obtained in a training facility, they can only be gained once you are working within the carpentry industry and these 8 weeks will provide what you need to get into the industry!

In this period of 8 weeks, you will gain a City & Guilds qualification followed by NVQ achievement training which will provide you with just this opportunity. The City & Guilds qualification will act as your underpinning knowledge and will incorporate many of the areas which make up NVQ units so you will be learning all of the time.

Training for Carpentry C&G 6217-02 And NVQ level 2 - 8 Week Course

Here, we explain the requirements and Able Skills Carpentry training plans in order for you to achieve the City & Guilds 6217-02 qualification and preparation for NVQ assessment:

In the first 6 weeks of your course we will provide training and assessment to cover the following C&G 6217-02 Carpentry Units:

There are 6 mandatory Units and you must complete any 2 Units from the 3 optional units to be awarded a certificate in full.

The 6 Mandatory Units are:

• 001 Fixing Skirting to a timber background
• 002 Fixing floor joists and laying flooring
• 003 Fixing door lining in stud partition or blockwork opening
• 004 Hanging an internal door
• 005 Making a casement window
• 058 Fixing and stabilising trussed rafters

The 3 Optional Units are:

• 059 Accessing for carpentry and joinery
• 060 Setting out and cutting one pair of common rafters
• 061 Operating basic wood machines

This particular award is incredibly hands on and will provide you with plenty of Carpentry knowledge and confidence and will go some way to preparing you for the industry.

The C&G qualification alone is not enough basis for the NVQ process which is why we provide an additional 2 weeks Carpentry training, should this be your choice.

QUA 808 - Carpentry NVQ Level 2 - Site Carpentry

This is the award which we will be providing training in and encouraging you to achieve once you are working within the Carpentry industry.

NVQs are assessments carried out, at work, to establish your skill level and to establish just how competent you are in your Carpentry abilities. This is why we are providing you with 8 weeks of training in total preparation for the NVQ process.

During the entire 8 weeks we will ensure you have a detailed understanding of all of the units which go together to make up an NVQ in Site Carpentry.

The Full Route to achieve a Carpentry NVQ is made up of the following:

QCF01 - Conforming to General Safety in the Workplace
QCF02 - Conforming to Efficient Working Practices in the workplace
QCF03 - Moving and Handling Resources in the Workplace

Supported by THREE optional units from:

QCF09 - Installing First Fixing Components in the Workplace
QCF10 - Installing Second Fixing Components in the Workplace
QCF11 - Erecting Structural Carcassing Components in the Workplace
QCF12 - Maintaining Non-Structural Carpentry Work in the Workplace
QCF13 - Setting Up and Using Circular Saws in the Workplace

During each NVQ Carpentry unit you will have to demonstrate areas of the generic units which are:

• QCF01
• QCF02
• QCF03

You will need to ensure that you have evidence of these units within the portfolio you will be building and so training for these will be provided.

The areas to be covered will include:

• Health & Safety / First Aid
• SSOW (safe system of work)
• Correct use of tools and electrical equipment
• Ordering, storing and use of materials
• Good housekeeping
• PPE
• Use and safety of scaffolding and ladders
• Identifying appropriate materials
• Site supervision and management

Training for these units will be completed using practical training, theory classes and handouts to assist you in your understanding of what is required of you whilst in the work place. During each further carpentry unit you undertake to achieve the NVQ, you will have to demonstrate areas of the generic units which are QCF01 / QCF02 / QCF03.

As 3 of the next 5 units are the required units to fully achieve a Carpentry NVQ, we will use the 2 extra weeks to assess the necessary competencies required to achieve:

QCF09 - Installing First Fixing Components in the Workplace - In order for you to have competence in this unit, we will ensure that you have a full understanding of Roofs - traditional, trussed and flat; suspended timber floors; windows; stairs; timber studwork; door frames and linings; ground lats and sills.

QCF10 - Installing Second Fixing Components in the Workplace - Your competence in this unit will be achieved by gaining an understanding of joinery work after plaster work is completed. We will cover elements such as mouldings; internal doors; ironmongery; encasing services (coverings for pipes & cables etc) and wall & floor units.

QCF11 - Erecting Structural Carcassing Components in the Workplace - You will be taught how to interpret drawings, schedules and manufacturers information related to the work to be carried out in order to prepare and fix gable roof trussed rafters, cut roofs, ground, upper and flat roof joists, flooring and decking amongst other things.

QCF12 - Maintaining Non-Structural Carpentry Work in the Workplace - We will ensure that you are aware of procedures and the skills required to maintain work such as replacement of sash cords, replacing door/window frames, architraving, skirting, dado rails and picture rails. We will also ensure that you are able to form joints associated with repairs and repair or replace door and window ironmongery.

QCF13 - Setting Up and Using Circular Saws in the Workplace - This unit is about interpreting information; adopting safe and healthy working practices; selecting materials, components and equipment; setting up fixed and/or transportable machinery and sawing to size timber and timber-based sheet material and/or non-ferrous metal.

This structured carpentry training programme, consisting of 8 full weeks will provide you with a City & Guilds 6217-02 Carpentry Certificate initially (obtained within the first 6 weeks) which will act as your underpinning knowledge and will incorporate many of the areas which make up carpentry NVQ units so you will be learning all of the time.

This particular award is incredibly hands on and will provide you with plenty of carpentry knowledge and confidence and will go some way to preparing you for the industry.

The process will also ensure you have a full understanding of portfolio building and evidence gathering.

Once you have completed your 8 weeks of intensive, hands on Carpentry training, you will then be industry ready which is where you need to be in order to achieve a Carpentry NVQ. To achieve the NVQ you must undertake a CSCS test and be registered with an NVQ Assessment Centre and assessed in the work place, Able Skills will register you under our Centre as part of this carpentry training programme.

To finish this training experience, we will provide you with a start up portfolio which will include all of the evidence and assessment sheets ready for you to use as and when you gather your work based evidence. We will also continually support you throughout the process and if you choose, we will check your portfolio evidence to ensure that you are on the right track.

We will be looking for you to gain photographic evidence of work you are undertaking along with quotes, drawings, estimates, job references and letters from customers relating to the work you have undertaken. This ongoing evidence and information will be encouraging as you witness the improvement in your carpentry abilities and it also enables you to see your own progression.

When you are ready for work based assessments, we will arrange for our carpentry Assessors to visit you at your place of work. We estimate that 2 site visits will be required and the cost per visit will be £250*

Once you have completed your portfolio to a competent level, complete with all necessary evidence and details of the 2 site visits, Able Skills Assessors will claim your Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Wood Occupations - Site Carpentry for you.

As well as an abundance of practical training in training areas other centres can only dream about, we will provide you with 3 instructors, classroom facilities, a learner pack for study at your own leisure, Heinemann Carpentry NVQ Level 2 study book and of course, your portfolio.

This is a hands-on, practical course, it is therefore recommended you bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential.

We offer training at weekends if you have work or other commitments through the week. We aim to make our training as accessible as possible to everyone
