Residential Framing Technician
What does this program give me?
The Residential Framing Technician Program gives you the skills, training, and knowledge you need to safely build concrete formwork and the “frame” or supporting structure of single and multi-family buildings. It also trains you to enclose the building and install windows and doors to the “lock-up” stage. As a framer, you are responsible for the wooden and/or steel structure from the sill plate on the foundation to the installation of the roof trusses and/or rafters. This includes floor platforms with supporting joists and blocking, interior and exterior walls and sheathing, openings for windows and doors with structural support headers in bearing walls and interior and exterior stairs
