Carpenter Diploma

As a child, you would sneak into your dad’s workshop and gather all the wood and nails you could find to build your tree house. As a teenager, your favorite class was woodworking and you would not miss it for anything. As an adult, you still love to build and think that it is time to make it a career. Your first step is to enroll in the Carpenter program at Penn Foster Career School.

Training as a carpenter will allow to you to define your talent. You will learn about construction drawings, building codes, and layout. You will know how to use lumber and other building materials. You will be able to frame floors, walls, stairs, and roofs and follow through with finishing floors and ceilings. You can finish the program as quickly or slowly as you like because you learn at home, at your pace.

It is important for you to receive your training now and get your foot in the industry. "The need for carpenters is expected to grow as construction activity increases in response to demand for new housing, office and retail space, and for modernizing and expanding schools and industrial plants. A strong home remodeling market also will create a large demand for carpenters*."

Are you ready to build your next masterpiece?
