Skip the classes—show your skills. The Woodshop Test Out is a much faster and more affordable option to get certified on woodworking tools for experienced woodworkers who don’t need full instruction. Sign up if you are already comfortable using:

• Table Saw
• Miter Saw
• Track Saw
• Drill Press
• Small Band Saw
• Hand Router
• Random Orbital Sander
• Belt Sander 

During this session, you’ll demonstrate safe and confident use of each tool under the supervision of a trained proctor. This is not a class or tutorial—no instruction will be provided—so please come prepared to show your skills.

If you’re confident with most tools but still learning one or two, no problem! You can skip the test for specific tools and take a separate class on them later. Certification will be granted only for the tools you demonstrate competency with.
