Carpenters must have a functional understanding of general math, fractions, decimals, measurement, measurement tools, area measure, and volume measure. Apprentice Applicants are asked to complete a Math Evaluation to assist us in determining their math comprehension. This page provides a study guide for Apprentice Applicant Math Evaluation, as well as a study guide for Apprentices and Journeymen enrolled in Construction Trades courses.
