Before you choose a carpentry school in Texas
Most carpenters learn through apprenticeships or on-the-job training; a school certificate can help you start but does not replace field experience. OSHA 10/30 safety cards are common requirements on job sites.
- Does the program include OSHA 10 or 30 training?
- How many hours are hands-on?
- Does it connect to local builders or apprenticeships?
