Course Overview:

Do you enjoy working with your hands? Do you get a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction by being able to build things. Then maybe our carpentry course is right for you! This is a trade that is in demand of qualified carpenters which can makes graduates of this course very attractive for employers.

Student will learn the knowledge and practice the skills necessary to work as a carpenter in the real world. You’ll also learn about the safety and business dimensions of working in this exciting industry.

Course Description:

The course is delivered over 64 study weeks. (Up to 94 weeks including holidays) Students must log a minimum of 400 supervised, ‘paid’ or ‘unpaid’, work experience hours. The student is responsible for collecting evidence proving the supervised ‘paid’ work experience hours. Supervised ‘unpaid’ work experience placements must be approved by the General Manager before starting the work experience hours. In addition, the college will provide a logbook to record the work experience hours which we will check on completion.

Students study between 3 to 7 units across an eight-study week term then have a 2 week “Research Break”. Students are required to participate in the training as a condition of their visa.

We offer intakes every week except holiday and Research Break weeks. The courses are assessed through Assignments/ Workbooks, Case Studies, Written Tests and Observation Checklists. Academique supports recognition of prior learning.

The qualification requires evidenced knowledge and skills in a wide variety of locations using a broad range of equipment on diverse materials assessed on multiple occasions. As a consequence, students will be required to complete numerous assessment tasks at our Southport campuses in specially created simulated environments on specified days.

Some assessment tasks require the use of very expensive hire equipment. In the event that a student does not attend a scheduled assessment task (as advised by email to their registered address) the student might have to pay to arrange a private assessment opportunity. (The fee is based on the actual cost of the assessor and equipment: up to $1,500.00. Evidenced compelling and compassionate circumstances might create exemptions).

If students successfully complete all units of their course more than two calendar weeks prior to their
course completion date (as per Confirmation of Enrolment) we are legally required to report the
cessation of their enrolment to the respective government authorities, including Immigration.
