Program Description:
The curriculum prepares students for working in the construction industry. The program qualifies graduates to seek employment as apprentice carpenters and journey-level carpenters. Students may also complete at least two years experience which can be applied towards the required four years experience needed to qualify for a Class "B" State of California Contractors License.
Instruction is offered in all phases of construction from demolition of an existing structure to grading of land to, ultimately, a turn-key situation. Studies include safety, materials of construction, mathematics, print reading, builders level and transit, site work, foundation and floors, rough framing, roof framing, stair building, exterior finish, and interior finish.
Additional studies included are timber construction, steel stud construction, grading of land, plumbing, HVAC, and various other specialty items that vary from project to project. The culminating student experience is the building of a single family dwelling.
A Certificate of Achievement is awarded upon completion of all required courses with a grade of C or better.
