Level 3 Site Carpentry Diploma

This study programme is designed to help you move quickly toward advanced jobs, higher education, or apprenticeship opportunities if you know what you want to do next and meet the entry requirements needed for success.

Achieving a Level 3 qualification will improve your future earning potential and career choices. It also allows you to progress to Higher Education, Higher Apprenticeships, and Degree Apprenticeships. These can lead to roles like advanced technician or skilled supervisor at Level 3, and eventually to management or professional status as you continue your studies.

To study at Level 3, including all T Level and A Level programmes, you will need an average entry score of 5.0 from your best 6 GCSE subjects, ideally including English and Maths.

Assessment consists of completing a portfolio of work, practical
observations, written work and online tests.

On successful completion you could move onto a higher level of study, such as
at university, or a Carpentry apprenticeship.

Alternatively, you could seek employment within the industry (you may need to
gain a CSCS Card first).

Dedicated Work Experience opportunities are supported by our Industry Liaison
Officer, who will find opportunities that are right for you. These will give you
the confidence and experiences you need to achieve your career goals.

Throughout the year, you’ll also take part in regular industry relevant
trips, including construction site visits and warehouse tours. There, you’ll see
the inner workings of the construction industry firsthand and explore your next
steps.

We also benefit our community by taking part in social action projects which
help with development and skill progression, as well as making a difference to
local people.

You will be required to wear workshop PPE during your studies, including
steel toe cap boots.
