Work planner furniture industry/(ship) interior construction (bbl)

Prepared down to the last detail

As a work planner for a furniture maker or (ship) interior builder, you prepare projects down to the last detail. You create clear working drawings, purchase materials, and calculate the costs. With your planning and guidance, others can get to work. They know what to make and how to do it.

The projects you'll work on are very diverse. You might create kitchen or bathroom cabinets, for example. Or you might design furniture for homes and offices. You might even design the furniture for your favorite pub! For each project, you'll consult extensively with the client and your colleagues.

During the program, you'll first learn to make all kinds of furniture and furnishings. Then you'll choose what suits you best. Do you prefer working on furniture and interior design projects? On new construction or renovation projects? Or would you like to work in a ship interior workshop? Whatever you choose, you'll always deliver top-notch results!

The full training program to become a furniture maker/(ship) interior builder work planner formally lasts 4 years. We offer only the final 2 years to students who already possess the necessary professional knowledge.
