Where will I be studying?

Our Carpentry Workshop is based in our Main Campus on Market Street, Kidderminster. Students studying Carpentry will have access to our Carpentry Workshop during practical work, to gain an insight into the facilities used in the Carpentry industry.

What facilities can I use outside of my studies?

We aim to provide our students with an excellent learning experience that gives them the practical skills to make a difference within the industry. At college, you'll embrace your independence, make lifelong friends and access our award-winning facilities and activities.

At Kidderminster College, we aim to give you as many opportunities as possible to have fun alongside your studies, including guest speakers, work experience, trips and on-campus events.

If you don't fancy that, you can walk straight into the town centre, which hosts a variety of food places, including McDonald's, Greggs, Subway and Costa Coffee. In walking distance, there are shops also, including Tesco's, Morrisons and Aldi.

Do you have study areas for students?

Tutor - Carpentry

I began my career as a carpentry apprentice and contributed my skills on a new build site. I progressed to site manager, then to contract manager, for over 20 years. I always aimed to give back to an industry that had given me so much, so I became a lecturer to pass on my experience and passion for carpentry and joinery trade to the next generation.
