The interviewer will ask this question to see if you meet the company's educational requirements and gauge if you have the training needed to work in this profession. Many companies require a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent, while some companies require more advanced education. If you made it to the interview, you must meet the company's educational requirements. Describe your education and explain how it prepared you for a career as a woodworker.

Describe your education, listing any diplomas or degrees received, and highlight courses or an apprenticeship that prepared you to work as a woodworker. Avoid embellishing your education and saying you are more educated than you are. The interviewer can ask for school transcripts to verify your claims, and you do not want to appear dishonest.

"I am a high school graduate and received my diploma three months ago. While in high school, I took two years of shop classes where I learned how to work with wood, and that is when I became interested in a career as a woodworker. I am enrolled at the community college and am taking advanced woodworking classes. I will receive my associate's degree in fine woodworking in less than two years. My education has prepared me for a career as a woodworker by providing me with the knowledge and skills needed to perform this work."
