Alternatively, completing a carpentry apprenticeship or trade qualification can provide the necessary knowledge and skills and be the primary requirement for a licence.
A carpentry licence offers several advantages. Firstly, it ensures you comply with regulations and safety standards, protecting yourself and your clients.
