The Advanced Carpentry Foundation Course is a 32-week curriculum where participants gain certification for both Level 1 and 2 carpentry technical training. Combining classroom learning with hands-on experience, students work on diverse projects such as stair construction, concrete formwork, structural framing for floors, walls and roofs, interior finishing, and rigging/hoisting operations. About 70% of the program focuses on practical skill-building through the complete construction of a building project up to the lock-up phase.
Graduates of the Advanced Carpentry Foundation program will obtain Level 1 and 2 technical certifications along with 450 hours of work experience credit applicable toward their Carpentry Apprenticeship requirements.
