01Materials and Timber Technology
This domain tests how well you understand wood as an engineering material: its anatomy, its relationship with water, the defects that downgrade it, and the panel products that replace solid timber. Questions normally pair a definition with a practical decision - which board, at what moisture content, for which component.
503 words, about 3 min02Technical Drawing and Workshop Planning
This domain tests your ability to read and produce working drawings, convert them into a cutting list, and plan the workshop so material flows without bottlenecks. Expect a projection question, a dimensioning question and a panel or timber take-off with waste.
542 words, about 3 min03Hand Tools and Portable Power Tools
This domain tests tool selection, sharpening geometry and safe use of hand-held power tools. Questions tend to be practical: which saw for this cut, what angle on this chisel, which way to feed a router.
530 words, about 3 min04Woodworking Machinery and Machine Setting
This domain tests machine selection, correct setting and the safety logic behind each adjustment. Typical questions give a component and ask for the machine, the setting values and the reason.
505 words, about 3 min05Joints, Assembly and Construction Methods
This domain tests whether you can choose a joint that suits the load, the material and the production method, and then assemble it without introducing error. Examiners like proportion rules, glue-up sequence and movement allowances.
524 words, about 3 min06Surface Preparation, Finishing and Adhesives
This domain tests the sequence from bare timber to finished surface, plus correct adhesive selection. Most lost marks come from sequence errors - a skipped grit or the wrong glue for the environment.
473 words, about 2 min07Furniture Design
This domain tests design decisions that can be justified: ergonomics, standard dimensions, proportion, material choice and the design process. Answers earn marks when they quote a dimension and explain who it suits.
485 words, about 2 min08Upholstery and Interior Fittings
This domain tests frame construction, suspension, filling specification, fabric calculation and the fittings that make furniture work. Numerical questions usually involve foam volume or fabric quantity with pattern repeat.
473 words, about 2 min09Occupational Health, Safety and Environment
This domain tests legal duties, workshop hazards, control measures and environmental responsibility. Answers score when they name the hazard, rank the control and quote a limit.
