About This Course
The Finishing Carpenter course trains students in all aspects of interior carpentry and joinery — the final phase of a building project that makes spaces liveable and aesthetically complete.
Finishing carpenters are specialists who install doors, windows, fitted wardrobes, false ceilings, skirting boards, and decorative timber elements. This is distinct from structural (shuttering) carpentry and is in very high demand in hotel, villa, and high-end residential construction in Nepal and across the Gulf. This course is affiliated with CTEVT (Center for Technical Education and Vocational Training), Nepal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Carpentry & Wood Working course? The general Carpentry course covers structural and furniture-making skills. Finishing Carpentry is specifically focused on interior fit-out — what happens inside a building after the structure is complete.
What do finishing carpenters earn in the Gulf? NPR 60,000–1,00,000/month. High-end hotel fit-out projects pay premium rates for quality finishers.
