You’ll cover even more ground than you expect when you take on our 10-day accredited carpentry and joinery course

Here at YTA, we have long been known as one of the leading accredited centres for construction training, and this much is reflected in both the breadth and depth of our courses themselves. 

That ‘accredited’ detail is a particularly important one when it comes to our top carpentry course, the 10-day NOCN Cskills Level 1 Accredited Carpentry and Joinery Course. That’s because it is a course giving those who enrol the chance to complete three Cskills accredited units of training, in relation to three crucial aspects of carpentry: door lining, hanging a door, and skirting and architrave. A further unit on window frames can also be added as a ‘bolt-on’. 

Achieving all three of the essential Level 1 units will give you six credits and the opportunity to be awarded a NOCN Cskills unit accreditation certificate for ‘Skills for Carpentry & Joinery’. But what are the exact skills and knowledge that you can expect to acquire if you do commit to this course? 

Get your carpentry career off to the best possible start 

Our Level 1 course is specifically aimed at those who are interested in getting started in carpentry and joinery as a career, with an eye to eventually gaining the Cskills NVQ Level 2 in Site Carpentry. It is, then, a true beginner’s course, no prior experience in carpentry being needed before you embark on it – and this is reflected in how the course has been designed. 

As the course gets underway, then, you can expect to first learn about how to use the basic hand tools associated with this trade. These will include the different saws that are used for various woods, as well as chisels and how to correctly use them. 

You will then proceed to develop your skills in marking, cutting, and chiselling, by taking on a series of common woodwork joints of increasing levels of difficulty. That will provide the foundation for you to move on to such tasks as the building of a door frame, and the building of a stud partition with doorway. After that, you will get to handle architrave and skirting, including learning how to mite a skirting board on internal and external angles, as well as straight angle cuts. 

But there’s even more catered for in this comprehensive course

One of our hallmarks as one of the most trusted accredited centres for construction training, is a commitment to going beyond the basics. 

It is a policy that continues through our 10-day NOCN Cskills Level 1 Accredited Carpentry and Joinery Course, with the full breadth of important areas of carpentry covered also encompassing the likes of scribing joints to fit mouldings and skirting, terms used in partitioning, site carpentry operations included in second fixings, and much more. 

If you have any questions about what is and isn’t covered in this 10-day course, and if you would appreciate some more tailored advice on whether it could be the right training option for you, you are always welcome to give our team a call – on 01274 682199 – before you commit. 

Alternatively, feel free to send us an email via our online contact page. With our courses being delivered every week from Monday to Friday, we are confident that we will be able to provide you with this training on dates to suit you, if you do decide this route matches well with your circumstances and ambitions.

”Best Course I’ve Ever Done!” New 5 Star YTA Review – Azher Ashraf – Scotland

“The best training school I’ve ever been to!” says Azher Ashraf from Scotland after completing multiple courses at YTA.

Azher left a fantastic 5 star YTA review following the completion of our plumbing, carpentry & joinery courses with more courses already booked in for the coming months!

The best training school I’ve ever been to. Travelled from Scotland and its the best course I’ve ever done. Paul the plumbing teacher was outstanding 10-10 for the help and knowledge. Dave in the tiling sector and Lawrence in joinery section were really good. Helped whenever asked this Is the best company in the UK. All hands on from the word go already booked on a kitchen course and joinery. They helped my self in every possible. Keep up the great work guys.

Thank you Azher for a great 5 star YTA review.

The 5 day plumbing course is suitable for total beginners with no previous experience or tradespersons such as tilers, plasterers, joiners, kitchen fitters etc who wish to undertake plumbing tasks from changing taps, plumbing in a kitchen sink including a washing machine to full bathroom replacements including fitting of radiators in order to gain more work and income. In the current climate the tradesperson who can do the whole job to a customer tends to gets the more jobs leaving the customer without the headache of finding multiple trades to complete a home project.

This plumbing course is aimed to give you enough skills to develop your expertise to a career in plumbing as many of our former plumbing candidates have or just to give you the confidence to take on plumbing projects around the house however small or large.

Our 5 day plumbing course will provide you with a great insight and understanding of the plumbing trade whether you are a total beginner or have some previous plumbing experience.

This 5 day intensive carpentry and joinery course is ideal if you are wanting to start a career in carpentry and eventually move on to gain your NVQ level 2 in Site Carpentry. No previous experience in carpentry is necessary. We also offer a 10 day course and 10 day level 1 course in carpentry & joinery.

Five days is all that it takes to start an exciting new joinery career!

It’s fair to say that many of us have had reason to look at our lives afresh over the past year, with all of the disruption and hardship it has brought. For you, that might have even meant considering a new professional direction. 

Maybe you’ve decided that you want to embark on a career that is highly durable, continuing to see high demand even in times of economic uncertainty? Or perhaps you’ve been thinking to yourself, “well, I’ve always wanted to learn a trade – so I might as well take the plunge now”? 

Whatever your own specific situation and motivations may be, if you have been thinking of training to be a carpenter or joiner in 2021, you can’t do better than doing it with one of the leading accredited centres for construction training – YTA! 

In fact, as a beginner, you only need to complete a five-day course with us in order to earn your first unit of accreditation as a carpenter or joiner. So, what exactly does our consistently-in-demand five-day Cskills Level 1 Unit Carpentry Course offer you? 

 

A great first step to an NVQ Level 2 carpentry qualification 

It is important to acknowledge that this particular five-day course on its own is a unit accreditation course that does not lead to the full NOCN Cskills Level 1 Certificate in Carpentry and Joinery; for that, you’ll need to take on the 10-day course that we also offer here at YTA. 

Nonetheless, even if you do opt for ‘just’ the five-day course, you will cover a lot of ground, with the opportunity to earn a unit of accreditation that can be shown to potential employers or customers to demonstrate your competence in this important trade. 

Another great attraction of this course is that you really can start it even if you have no prior experience in carpentry at all. 

You will choose a Cskills unit to complete during your five days at our training centre. Then, once you’ve passed this course, you could always proceed to another Cskills Level 1 unit accreditation course, and eventually gain a Cskills NVQ Level 2 qualification in site carpentry. 

 

You won’t waste a minute when training in carpentry with us! 

In just five days at our West Yorkshire training centre, you can cover considerable ground in carpentry and joinery. This course encompasses such essentials of the trade as building a stud partition wall with a doorway, hanging a door including the fitting of locks, fitting skirtings and mouldings, the various tools required in carpentry and joinery, and so much more. 

Experienced carpenters and joiners can earn as much as £40,000 a year, so this might not merely be an enjoyable and futureproof trade for you – it could also be a financially rewarding one in the long run. And this course represents an excellent way to start your journey. 

Reach out to the YTA team today to ask any questions you may have about this popular course, and to enquire about booking your place to learn carpentry at one of the UK’s leading accredited centres for construction training.
