The Practical Woodworking course provides opportunities for candidates to gain a range of theoretical and practical woodworking skills relating to tools, equipment, processes and materials.

Pupils will make a range of unit models in S3 and S4 to prepare them for the Practical Activity for N5 of the Added Value unit for N4. Pupils are also expected to produce a log book, detailing how they carried out the tasks.
