Courses - Certificate

The Certificate level comprises:

Core Module. This module covers Wood Structures and Timber Properties and leads to a formal 3 hour examination.

Optional Modules. Candidates may select five optional modules containing assessed tasks and projects, and the student will pursue the study under the guidance of an IWSc approved tutor.

Optional modules are offered under four headings:

Technology for those concerned with timber drying; timber conversion and machining for both primary and secondary wood machining activities and timber durability, protection and preservation for those concerned with supplying timber for exterior work or use in hazardous situations.
Resource modules for those concerned specifically with softwood, hardwoods or panel products or a combination of them.
End uses form another group and will cover carcassing and strength grading in one module; and joinery and appearance grading in another module.
Commercial modules that offer timber trade practice will be of special relevance to timber agents and importers, and yard and warehouse operations that will be especially appropriate for timber merchants.

Satisfactory completion leads to LIWSc.

The cost of the Course is £420 (if you would like prices in euros please contact Head Office) per student (20% discount for IWSc Corporate Members).
