At Able Skills we pride ourselves in the diversity of the skills that are available within our carpentry training centre. If upon completion of this course you would like to learn much more then you can consider upgrading to City & Guilds Certificate & Training to NVQ Level 2. This would require you to train for an additional 5 weeks; payment would be adjusted to reflect what you have already paid on this course.

We also offer combined Carpentry, Joinery and NVQ courses; again, upon completing this 3 week course, an adjustment to time and payment could be madeif you wanted to upgrade and enhance your skill level.
