Drywall Deck

I want to learn carpentry. I work full-time and don’t have time during the day. Are there night schools/class?

skills include tile, drywall, light framing for decks/canopy, cabinets, trim, plumbing, light electrical, etc……

Our community colleges offer night and weekend classes in these areas. We also have low and no cost classes offered by our city’s recreational department. Some do have fees for materials but most of the classes I’ve taken cost around $20 and material fees do not exceed $40. These classes teach skills and give you the opportunity to put them to practice.

Also, there are “contractors” schools that have classes on basic construction skills for the purpose of taking the contractor’s licensing test. The classes they offer include everything from painting, drywall, electrical and plumbing, finish carpentry, to name a few. I’m not certain whether these are hands-on classes, however. I suggest you call some in your area to determine whether their classes will meet your needs. The contractor’s schools in our area offer “flexible class schedules”, so maybe yours do too.

Finally, both our Home Depot and Lowes offer Saturday classes where I’ve learned project specific skills like “installing a ceiling fan, laying ceramic tile, faux finishing, framing and installation of a patio cover, building a BBQ island, basic woodworking, molding, trim and finish carpentry”. These are basic classes, but they even let you use power tools and they are hands-on. Good luck!
