General Carpentry, Sixth Edition now features two distinct career paths rather than a four-level structure. Trainees have an
option to pursue a path in advanced building construction or concrete formwork following completion of the introductory level. By completing both the construction and formwork training paths, NCCER’s General Carpentry, Sixth Edition can be used to satisfy a four-year registered apprenticeship.
