CTVET Ghana Certificate II - Carpentry cheat sheet
CTVET Ghana Certificate II - Carpentry · Keep the key ideas within reach.
Wood behavior, joinery, framing and finishing decisions
Wood grade, grain and moisture matter beyond appearance.
Use consistent datums and actual specified dimensions.
Joints, adhesives and fasteners must fit the actual purpose and exposure.
Partially assembled framing needs appropriate temporary stability and authorized safe work.
Building systems, load paths, heat and moisture
R=d/λ uses thickness in metres; total resistance includes the model’s surfaces and layers.
U=1/R_total is a steady-state element model, not the complete building energy demand.
Permanent, occupancy, wind and snow actions require the stated design framework.
Moisture, airtightness and intended ventilation must be considered together.
Example tie spacing is supplied data, not a code rule.
Engineering models, drawings, evidence and project decisions
State the system boundary and assumptions before calculation.
Units, sign conventions and uncertainty are part of the answer.
Verification against a specification differs from validation for an intended use.
Drawings need a declared convention and controlled revision.
Classroom models do not authorize physical operation or structural approval.
Construction planning, safe boundaries, inspections and controlled changes
Clarify actual responsibility, approved drawings and change authority.
Hazards require task-specific controls, not one universal PPE recipe.
Inspect concealed requirements before they become inaccessible.
Separate net quantities, stated allowances and unresolved handover issues.
