A carpenter is a skilled and qualified tradesperson who uses their expertise to build, install, repair and erect timber and steel frames, foundations, walls and fixtures on residential, commercial and industrial projects.
Carpenters usually work with timber or engineered wood and often use their trade, along with further study, to become licensed builders.
When you study carpentry, or carpentry and joinery at TAFE NSW you will learn to use your attention to detail and problem solving skills to work on new innovative projects and create work that lasts longer than a lifetime.
