A 1-year Diploma in Carpenter Works (often structured similarly to an ITI or vocational Carpenter course) is a hands-on training program focused on the fundamental skills required for wood and timber fabrication, joinery, and installation used in construction and furniture making.
The syllabus heavily emphasizes practical workshop skills, safety, and understanding various types of wood and materials.
The course is typically divided into Trade Theory (knowledge and concepts) and Trade Practical (hands-on skills), supported by foundational subjects.
This is the main component, dedicated to developing proficiency with tools and accurate joinery.
Safety and Workshop Practice:
Safety Rules: Proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and safe operation of woodworking machinery (e.g., circular saw, bandsaw, thickness planer).
Hand Tools: Detailed training in the use, sharpening, and maintenance of essential carpentry hand tools (saws, planes, chisels, hammers, braces, and bits).
Measurement and Marking:
Accurate reading and use of measuring instruments (tape measures, squares, levels, marking gauges).
Techniques for marking out and transferring dimensions onto timber.
Timber and Material Preparation:
Planing and squaring timber to correct dimensions.
Sanding, scraping, and finishing wood surfaces.
Joinery Techniques:
Practice in creating various fundamental woodworking joints, including:
Halving Joints (Tee, Cross, End)
Mortise and Tenon Joints
Dovetail Joints (through and half-lapped)
Mitre Joints
Lapping and Scarfing Joints
Basic Furniture and Structure Fabrication:
Assembling small wooden frameworks.
Fitting hinges, locks, and various types of hardware (fasteners, screws, nails).
Constructing simple items like stools, cabinets, and basic window/door frames.
This module provides the necessary technical and material knowledge for the practical work.
Timber Science:
Classification of wood: Hardwood vs. Softwood.
Structure, defects, and diseases of timber.
Methods of seasoning and preservation of wood.
Adhesives and Materials:
Types and uses of different glues, adhesives, and sealants.
Knowledge of engineered wood products (Plywood, MDF, Particle Board).
Basic knowledge of finishes (varnish, paint, lacquer).
Building Elements:
Introduction to the components of wooden doors, windows, and roof trusses.
Types of locks, hinges, and fastening devices used in carpentry.
Quantities and Estimation:
Basic methods for calculating the amount of timber and materials needed for a job.
Safety standards and relevant building codes.
These subjects provide supporting skills.
Engineering Drawing (ED): Interpretation of basic architectural and working drawings, sketching of joints, and understanding different views (orthographic, isometric).
Workshop Calculation & Science (WCS): Applied mathematics related to the trade (e.g., calculating area, volume, basic geometry, units of measurement).
Employability Skills: Basic communication, professionalism, and basic computer/IT literacy.
This 1-year diploma prepares you for roles such as a Carpenter/Joiner in construction companies, furniture manufacturing units, or small-scale fabrication workshops.
