Tim Faller’s 11-part class is a training program for Lead Carpenters and their employers. These lead carpenter production training videos can be purchased individually or all at once, and coordinate well with his Lead Carpenter Handbook. The first two sessions are focused on Lead Carpenters, the remaining sessions can apply to anyone involved in production.
This set of 11 separate online videos discusses how to incorporate the Lead Carpenter into your business, but it also provides valuable information for all production employees, as well as the company owner. Each segment is a 30-50 minute online video. The audio portion can be downloaded separately for listening on any MP3 player, and handout notes are included for each segment.
This valuable training focuses primarily on remodeling, and is designed for business owners, Lead Carpenters, Managers, and anyone wishing to be a Lead Carpenter. Each class is a self contained unit and doesn’t require the other units.
A written quiz is also included for each class. The quizzes on are designed to be given at the end of each training, to create discussion between team members and management. In some cases there is no right or wrong answer, in other cases it may be good to go back through the handout and find the answer. They are not intended to be graded but to see if people are getting the message of the training.
In some cases, if this is used for company training, you may want to listen to a class one week, pass out the handouts, and give the quiz at the next meeting, which would allow time for discussion and practical application.
Presented by Tim Faller, a professional production trainer in the construction industry for many years.
NOTE: There is overlap between these courses and the Construction Project Management course.
