Course details
About the course
Students use the same construction/ Joinery workshops that our pre-trade students work in so they are able to see first-hand the types of projects that are carried out by the full-time students. Students get to build things such as bird feeders, benches and cabinets. Health and Safety policy requires that students have steel-capped boots in these workshops.
