Carpentry L2

For those interested in a career as a trades person working with wood in the construction industry, this qualification is ideal for continuing to develop your skills and knowledge of site carpentry. You will learn about the industry, including the principles of constructing buildings, and about the types of information used in building design and construction. You will learn about health, safety and environmental issues faced on construction sites, and how to communicate with others on the job. You will also learn practical skills specific to site carpentry, including how to carry out first fix flooring and roofing, how to carry out first fix frames, partitions and stairs, how to carry out second fixing operations, how to carry out carpentry maintenance, and how to set up and operate a circular saw. This is a Framework qualification that consists of seven units of assessment. There are no entry requirements for this qualification – it is available to anyone over the age of 16 that is interested in learning more about site carpentry. However, you are likely to hold a previous qualification, such as the Level 1 Diploma in Carpentry and Joinery, or have equivalent experience working with wood, preferably with a site carpentry focus.

You will be seeking to consolidate your skills and knowledge of the trade in order to progress to further learning and specialisation in site carpentry.

The Level 2 Site Carpentry Diploma allows you to learn, develop and practise the skills required for employment and/or career progression in Site Carpentry.
