These specialist skills will improve your employability prospects with a Bench Joinery company and you will be working on the same course subjects as those on an Apprenticeship programme. Progression routes include the Level 3 NOCN Diploma in Bench Joinery, the T Level in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction, or an Apprenticeship.

• principles of building construction, information and communication
• set-up and operation of a circular saw
• setting out details for bench joinery products
