Diploma in Wood Technology (Full-Time only)

The Diploma in Wood Technology at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development is a full-time programme based in Kumasi. It gives you the technical and practical skills to work with wood across industries such as furniture, construction, and timber production. If you come from a General Science, Technical Studies, or Visual Arts background, this could be a good fit.

What wood technology covers

Wood technology programmes of this kind usually cover the properties of timber, wood processing techniques, machine operation, furniture production, and timber engineering. Students learn to select and treat wood, design wood products, and manage small-scale production. The field blends practical workshop skills with understanding of materials science, so you gain both hands-on experience and technical knowledge that can be applied in industry or in your own business.

How hard it is to get a place

This is a less competitive programme, so getting a place is more achievable if you meet the basic requirements. The college accepts students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds. You should confirm your WASSCE grades meet the latest entry requirements. The diploma is delivered full-time in Kumasi.
