I am a cabinet maker that wanted to get more construction and job site experience
, I was a little unsure about getting into a situation where I was being spoon feed a
certification , but I am pleasantly suprised that this is a good course ( carpentry )
and the meat of the program is good , I have had no problems with the scool and
the books ect are good as well .

In my situation , logistically it is next to impossible to go to regular training , I
force myself to do the work and set time aside each day to do it , thus far it has
worked out fine and infact found out that my union is going to pay for the course !

The content is good and the method is as well , Im not sure about the other
courses but the carpentry program gives you a good background in the field !
