Guest carrick2 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 hi everybody.1st time on here.done my vet carpentry(site joiner here) test on 6th july(accrington &rossendale college) an passed,got result 3 days l8r on yon web site.hadnt done a pitched hip roof in over 12 yrs so was a bit on the panicky side,bought myself a sliding roof square which comes with a wee book full of sizes an angles, out of b&q,read it through twice,very understandable,took it with me, best £15 ive ever spent.the saw horse was straightn forward,make it off a drawing, afew angled housings for the legs an a bit o measuring,question sheet on a cross section of atimber framed house,and label the components of ascaffolding tower,and a few other mickey mouse jobs.it was very nerve wrecking leading up 2 it,but honestly if ur any sort of 1/2 decent joiner at all it is wee buns.as alanakko said its more to weed out the chancers.there was 1 guy there on my test and he was useless,not surprised if he stil there.........glad its out of the way.just waitin on state sponsorship............wish all you guys that r waiting on results an those stil 2 do the test all the very best................robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ginjafro Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Has anyone done the Bench Joiners (331213) practical test during the last 6 months? If so, what was the format and what did you have to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leeknelson Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi we are applying to move to Perth but I want to get the English test and joinery test can anyone tell me any info about the practical test as I'm a shop fitter joiner and never work on pitched roofs etc as that's what my practical test may involve any info would be helpful thanks, also I'm getting mixed up hear as the carpenter in uk would mean to me working in a workshop and a joiner would be working on site, so I'm thinking I should go for the carpenters test, also with me doing shop fitting since 15 years I don't know what test they can give me as I fit out shops like Primark Asda George and house of Fraser etc.which does require a lot joinery work(carpentry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
