Online Training in Construction and Carpentry

According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), approximately one in three carpenters is self-employed. In 2004, carpenters had median hourly earnings of almost $17, with some of the more experienced carpenters earning more than $28 an hour.

Carpentry Courses
Although there is no standard educational requirement for entry-level carpenters, most need three to four years of formal instruction and hands-on apprentice training before they are considered skilled carpenters. Contractors, according to the BLS, also look at previous military service favorably when hiring carpenters.

In addition to vocational and technical schools programs that are often affiliated with unions and contractors, online courses and programs in carpentry provide basic and specialty training in this largest of the construction trades. Online courses in blueprint reading and fundamentals or construction technology can prepare you for a more successful career in the construction industry and give you an edge over other job applicants.

The Carpenter's Job
A carpenter's responsibilities can range from crafting custom furniture to supervising construction. The BLS predicts significant career opportunities in carpentry over the next several years--especially among those who have a broad skill set and extensive experience. If you have a head for problem solving, a flair for mathematics, are coordinated and physically fit, and enjoy working with your hands, a carpentry career may be a good fit for you.
