Carpentry courses

Carpentry courses at Able Skills.

Our City & Guilds Carpentry Course is a great place to start. This accredited 3-week basic carpentry qualification is an excellent start for anyone looking to start training as a Carpenter. This course will give you a really good understanding of the fundamentals and lays a good foundation of knowledge and ability to build on if you were to continue perusing the trade with a City & Guilds certificate upon completion. Can't commit to a 3-week course? Well this course can also be completed over a series of weekends! 

You will be trained and assessed across the following areas:

  • Health and Safety in construction
  • Fixing architraves and skirtings
  • Constructing and fixing hatch linings
  • Fitting locks and latches
