SkillBuild – Training for furniture makers

You’ve admired schools like the Sturt School for Wood, Centre for Fine Woodworking (NZ) or Centre for Furniture Craftsmanship (US). You dream of immersing yourself in that world of craft, design, and rigour — but the reality is, you can’t move your family or put your career on hold for a year. At SkillBuild Mount Egerton, we bring that same commitment to fine furniture making into a modular, flexible format. Serious training. Recognised outcomes. A pathway you can build piece by piece, without uprooting your life. Now offering- MSF20322 Certificate II in Cabinet Making and Timber Technology. You can learn to do high quality work with hand tools and traditional wood working machinery (and receive a recognised trade qualification) through a series of intensive workshops in small groups in a professional workshop.
