Carpentry & Trim

What this certification means

Carpentry & Trim proves you can cut, fit, and fasten wood accurately — baseboard and crown that closes tight on out-of-square walls, framing repairs that carry load, and rot repair that stops the problem at the source.

What it covers

• Lumber grades, dimensions, and moisture content
• Framing basics: studs, headers, joists, and load paths
• Cutting accurately — miter, bevel, compound, and coped joints
• Coping inside corners and scarf joints on long runs
• Baseboard, casing, crown, and chair rail installation
• Shimming, scribing, and fitting to out-of-square conditions
• Wood rot diagnosis, epoxy consolidation, and dutchman repairs
• Stair tread, handrail, and railing repair
• Shelving, built-ins, and closet systems
• Fastener and adhesive selection for trim that stays put

Who this is for

Handymen who install trim, build shelving, repair framing, or take on small structural fixes.
