Get A Carpentry Certificate

Getting the right carpentry certificate is very important. Many carpenters loose time and money trying to get the wrong ones. Here is a prime example I and about 5 other apprentices were working at a cabinet making shop in Plainfield New Jersey we got the company downsized and they ended the apprentice program. Their cabinet-making certificate is worth nothing all it would have been was a paper saying that I have completed a program and I am cabinetmaker.

In my opinion the best certificate that can be received is from the carpenters union. With this certificate you can go anywhere in the U.S.A and Canada and work on a union carpentry job that can use the help. That’s a true certificate that you may want to shoot for.

There are other certificates that you may want to shoot for in carpentry as well such as a certificate in O.S.H.A. This will show that you are aware of safety hazards and educated as well. Carpenters also build scaffolds sometimes they are over 100 feet in the air so why not get certified in scaffolding. There are certifications in using Hilti guns and welding. The more certifications that you have the better off you are in the basic carpentry world.

I never had to use my union certificate but if I ever have to I’m ready plain and simple I am also certified in a lot of other things, the more the merrier. Remember learning carpentry takes time this site will keep your head in the game so Good Luck.
