My Farnborough Story

Studying carpentry at Farnborough has allowed me to be more confident in myself through the people that I have met, and it has allowed me to be more social. There are a lot of good people here. The best bit of work I’ve created is my door framing. I got a merit for it so I’m really proud of that.

Will

At Aldershot College, I’ve learnt quite a lot of skills in carpentry that will help me with every aspect- whether that’s indoors, outdoors, onsite or in a workshop. It has also helped me to be more confident and just have better general knowledge of the trade.

Carpentry

Studying here at Aldershot college has helped me to be myself and learn more skills from my previous course. My best achievement here was making a bird table with my classmates for a local school.
