    Program Overview

    The Carpentry and Joinery course provides comprehensive training in woodworking for both construction and furniture-making applications.

The program covers roof construction, door and window installation, staircase building, cabinet making, and furniture design. Learners develop skills in reading technical drawings, wood selection, joinery techniques, and finishing methods. Safety practices, precision measurement, and quality craftsmanship are emphasized throughout the training. The course combines workshop practice with theoretical knowledge of wood properties and structural principles. Graduates find employment in construction companies, furniture workshops, interior fitting firms, or establish their own carpentry businesses in Kenya's growing construction and furniture sectors.
