Carpenter woodworking knowledge poster. Professional status as a journeyman carpenter in the United States may be obtained in a number of ways. Formal training is acquired in a four-year apprenticeship program administered by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, in which journeyman status is obtained after successful completion of twelve weeks of pre-apprenticeship training, followed by four years of on-the- job field training working alongside journeyman carpenters.
The Timber Framers Guild also has a formal apprenticeship program for traditional timber framing. Training is also available in groups like the Kim Bong woodworking village in Vietnam where apprentices live and work to learn woodworking and carpentry skills.
