To support you and your education, BCIT is adapting applied learning in formats appropriate to the unfolding global situation. Spring and Summer PTS classes are being delivered in an online format unless you are notified otherwise.

This course will introduce students to materials used for millwork and custom furnishings, methods of joinery, hardware types, and different wood species and their characteristics.
