  Carpentry is one of those professions that it seems will always be around – and why wouldn’t it be? After all, the furniture items such as cabinets, shelves, and drawers that carpenters measure, create, and repair will always be needed.  And if you have spent years as a carpenter yourself, you will be aware of how varied and rewarding a job it can be, beyond the monetary reward – which can be as high as £38,000 or more a year in the case of the most seasoned carpenters.  This, in turn, brings us neatly onto the subject of  our Experienced Worker Practical Assessment route , also known as ‘EWPA’.  While we are pleased to make available a variety of carpentry and   joinery courses  here at YTA, the EWPA is not a course. It is, instead, an assessment process, which can take just one or two days, and enables the already-experienced carpenter to achieve an NVQ Level 2 qualification.  That qualification, in turn, would allow you to gain acce...

These NVQ assessment routes are for people who already have at least five years’ experience in the given trade, and they involve the person in question spending one full day at our t...
