I.O.C Member



The original certificate as issued in 1968,by which time I had emigrated to Cape Town,South Africa.



While I was made a member of the British Institute of Certified Carpenters in the late sixties,the change of name saw me become a member of the IOC in 2006.



Our Aims

We aim to:

promote and enchance the role and status of skilled craftsmen and women everywhere;
encourage the highest standards of carpentry and joinery work; and
maintain the best traditions of our historic craft.
We provide an invaluable range of support and services including:

Technical and practical information and advice
Respected qualifications from Foundation through to Fellowship level
Specialist service for members
Master Certificate Scheme

The above is an extract from the Institutes web site,based in Great Britain,many members such as myself moved to other parts of the globe but the membership continues.When I was doing my London City of Guilds trade test (forth year) in Carpentry and Joinery,I was invited to sit for The institute of Certified Carpenters Guild exam at a later date,as with the city of guilds exam I was able to graduate to the Carpenters Guild as well.
