Studying the Certificate III in Carpentry at Holmesglen

This course is delivered in Holmesglen's specially designed facilities, where an emphasis is placed on providing hands-on, practical training wherever possible. <p>All workshop training is delivered by professional teachers, who have worked as carpenters in the building and construction sector prior to undertaking their teaching qualifications.<p>Carpenters are the key players in domestic house construction, often the first onsite and the last to leave. <p>While carpenters have their specific skills and tasks to perform in the building process, they must also have knowledge of all other trades as a carpenter's work often accommodates the other trades who follow them.
