The Certificate in Woodturning Course is designed to provide training which develops the basic woodturning skills necessary to become competent at woodturning.
The Certificate is aimed at candidates either with some woodturning experience, or those more experienced but with no formal training in woodturning. Therefore, the Certificate is primarily a training programme of the basic skills with assessment criteria.
The Qualification comprises:
