Carpentry & Joinery course review at YTA – Philip Porter

”I would definitely recommend” is what Philip Porter had to say following the completion of the 10 day carpentry and joinery course. Please see below the carpentry and joinery course review at YTA.

I attended the 10 day joinery course in October 19. The course was well presented with all the materials and tools available. Lawrence, the teacher was always there for you and as the classes were small he could spend plenty of time with each student. He explained and demonstrated clearly and you could tell he was a master craftsman. There was tea, coffee and biscuits available all day. I feel confident taking my skills out on to site now. I would definitely recommend and I’ll hopefully be doing other courses in time.

Thank you for such a great review Philip of your time at YTA whilst completing the 10 day carpentry and joinery course. Much appreciated.

Thanks again.
From the YTA Team

Fantastic 5 star multiple course review for YTA

A fantastic 5 star multiple course review for YTA on Google has been received following the completion of several YTA Training courses. Tiling, carpentry & joinery, plumbing, kitchen fitting and plastering courses completed by Anthony Nolan – an Electrician form Wales.

Having looked at various training providers I decided to try YTA, I have an electrical background and my objective was/is to be able to save money by renovating my own property and fit my own kitchen. That may be ambitious as I did not have experience of joinery, tilling, plumbing, or kitchen fitting, (although I had done some ‘plastering’ before) I spoke to Graham on the phone and we discussed a realistic development plan. With YTA, I did the 5 day joinery course, the 5 day plumbing course, a 2 day wall tiling course (specific to kitchen tilling) and a 2 day plastering skimming course ( with a specific practice session to skim over textured surfaces) and I recently completed the 5 day kitchen fitting course. As I am 57 years old and have worked in the construction industry I feel I can offer some advice to people that may be considering learning some construction skills. The instructors at YTA are all master tradesmen with decades of experience within each of their own areas of expertise, Lawrence carpentry, kitchens. Lyndon plumbing, electrical, Dave plastering, tilling. Plus Graham has an extensive plumbing background they were all very easy to get on with, bags of patience and are always willing to impart their knowledge. The courses are well structured to ensure progression and confidence. I believe courses offer excellent value for money and a great investment for people considering changing their careers or widening their income opportunities, with the option to attain valuable recognised qualifications if required. The facilities are excellent, easy to get to with adequate safe free parking, I travelled from N Wales and stayed in affordable (starting at £20 per night) farm house accommodation, within easy walking distance of YTA. During training time coffee, tea, decent biscuits are on tap throughout. For lunch break (45mins) there is a fridge and microwave cutlery and crockery available, plus close by plenty of options such as subway, MacDonalds, sandwich shops, Starbucks, personally I opted for the Fish and Chip shop just around the corner. According to Graham it is highly rated, especially by non local people!!! To finish this review, all I will say is, I was impressed, the other people doing the course whilst I was there were also happy and I believe you would be too. Thank you

Wow! What a fantastic 5 star review Anthony. Thank you. You certainly have worked your way around the training centre on a few different courses and we’ve all enjoyed having you with us. Glad you enjoyed those fish and chips too! Thanks once agin for such a superb review.

Turn to YTA for your fast-track route to a site carpentry NVQ Level 2 qualification

Provided that you are already an experienced joiner who has spent at least five years in your trade, you don’t have to invest a great amount of time and money into acquiring an NVQ Level 2. In fact, you can simply book our Cskills Awards Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Wood Occupations (Construction) – Site Carpentry QUA900 via the one-day Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA) route.

Yes, you read that correctly; you really do only need to spend a single day at our training and assessment training centre if you arrive ready to start at 7:30am. We will then be able to complete the entire NVQ carpentry assessment before finishing the day at about 4pm.

What is the EWPA route?

It isn’t only our carpentry and joinery NVQ Level 2 courses for which the EWPA pathway is an option. Indeed, this NVQ assessment route was devised so that seasoned workers could achieve their NVQ Level 2 in their relevant trade by simply undergoing a practical assessment, and we also have EWPAs available in such fields as wall and floor tiling, bricklaying and plastering.

This route enables you to have the skills that you have gained in your trade over the years assessed in a single day, or no longer than two days if required. As long as you pass this assessment, you will then have the qualification that you need to attain the blue skilled worker CSCS card.

We’ll ensure that you can get on with your professional life

With its three mandatory units covering general workplace safety, efficient work practices and the movement and handling of resources, together with any three of a series of other units addressing such subjects as the installation of components and the maintenance of non-structural carpentry work, our Site Carpentry QUA900 EWPA route is an extensive, but swift one.

All parts of the NVQ – including witness testimonies, the practical assessment, professional discussion and direct questioning – must be completed to the necessary standard if you are to attain this qualification. But once you have, you will be able to immediately get back on site earning a wage.

In fact, if you aren’t able to get on site right now and are therefore out of work, we aim to complete this assessment within two weeks from when you first get in touch with us. Once you have paid your deposit for this course, we can get you registered and you will be able to apply for and gain a temporary card lasting for six months until you complete the EWPA.

We hold NVQ EWPAs every week, even over weekends – so why wait any longer to make this next crucial step in your carpentry career? We’re among the UK’s most trusted training centres for carpentry & joinery NVQ Level 2 courses – so don’t hesitate to call our professional and friendly team today on 01274 682199, or to complete and submit our simple contact form.
