In partnership with

Fast-Track Carpentry Level 1 with NCCER Core is a 170-hour, hands-on workforce training program designed to prepare students for entry-level opportunities in residential and commercial carpentry. Students will learn foundational construction skills while building practical knowledge in safety, construction math, hand and power tools, construction drawings, material handling, communication, employability skills, and basic jobsite expectations.

The program also introduces students to Level 1 carpentry skills including building materials and fasteners, construction plans and documents, site and building layout, floor systems, wall systems, roof framing, basic stair layout, and building envelope systems. Instruction includes classroom learning, hands-on labs, and applied skill development aligned with NCCER/GMCA curriculum.

This course is ideal for individuals interested in entering the skilled trades, gaining practical carpentry experience, or continuing into additional construction training such as Carpentry Levels 2 - 4.

Students who successfully complete the program will receive an NCMC Certificate of Completion documenting 170-hours of NCCER/GMCA-aligned training and completed competencies. Course completion of Level 1 does not result in a Michigan Builder's License.
