Carpentry for Beginners provides a comprehensive introduction to the essential techniques and practices in woodworking and carpentry. This course emphasizes hands-on learning through project-based activities, allowing participants to engage directly with materials and tools. By the end of the program, learners will have gained practical skills and confidence to undertake basic carpentry projects, making them well-prepared for entry-level positions or personal projects.
The curriculum is structured to facilitate both individual and collaborative learning experiences. Participants will explore various aspects of carpentry, including tool usage, material selection, and construction techniques. The course culminates in a final project where learners will apply their acquired skills to create a functional carpentry piece, which they will have the opportunity to showcase in Cademix Magazine, enhancing their professional portfolio.
