In addition, we will also allocate you a Smartscreen account which is an additional learning resource.
You will learn through demonstration and practice over an 8 week period (40 days) and the training will be predominantly practical. You will undertake a variety of projects including marking out and making a full flight of stairs and you will also learn how to manufacture joints such as: mortice and tenon (haunched, franked, long and short shoulder), halving (cross, tee), widening (biscuit, dowel, tongue and groove, loose tongue, butt), housing (through, stopped), through dovetail, stud and cam.
