Carpentry and joinery courses
In the future, I see myself completing my apprenticeship, being a fully qualified carpenter and maybe that will lead to me being able to teach other apprentices coming up and maybe doing a supervising job.
I have made some great mates from places all over the world and even found time to surf in-between classes
TAFE Queensland offered hands-on training that was practical. The curriculum and the teaching materials really helped to teach me the things that I would need to know in the workplace.
