NCEA Level 3 Carpentry (3CAR) 

The Level 3 Carpentry course provides foundational skills for a possible career in carpentry or the other allied trades. Students are taught construction skills, health & safety, and the use of tools and machinery. This vocational program equips learners for entry-level apprenticeships by offering hands-on experience, building literacy and numeracy skills, and covering essential industry knowledge. Students undertake a large construction project which is developed in stages as the year progresses. Learning and progress is recorded in written theory tasks and photographs. The final outcome is a complex and highly finished product, students gain many new skills and much confidence.
