Eligibility requirements

• A high school diploma or equivalency, or the successful completion of an approved pre-entrance exam.
• The physical and health capacity to undertake the day-to-day work.
• An ability to understand written and oral instruction given in English.

Entry-level enrollment in most programs does not require prior woodworking or boatbuilding experience. However, enrollment in some courses may be contingent on prerequisite course completion or equivalent skill. Prerequisites for individual courses are listed with the course descriptions. The school will evaluate prior education or experience acquired at other schools. Credits will be awarded based on the specific correlation of the experience or training to the school’s curriculum. Detailed descriptions of the physical demands of our programs are available to applicants who may have health or physical conditions they are concerned may compromise their ability to benefit from the training.

International students

The school is approved by the U.S. Government to enroll non-immigrant international students. The process of acquiring the needed student visa can be time consuming and foreign students are encouraged to apply several months in advance of their program start date. Assistance is available from the Student Services Administrator by contacting us.
