Introducing Students Trained in Steel Frame Installation
Addressing the Skills Shortage
The construction industry heavily relies on carpenters trained primarily in timber, leading to a lack of familiarity and efficiency in installing light gauge steel framing. This course aims to promote and recruit candidates eager for a career in construction, equipping them with the essential skills needed for modern projects.
Our short course is designed to mirror on-the-job experiences, covering component and frame identification, placement, connection, and erection on-site. Trainees will learn how to measure and square frames and effectively use basic tools and equipment, ensuring they are prepared for real-world construction challenges.
