The WI Approach

The WI Approach is our exclusive publication, which contains much of what was omitted due to the merging of the standards. Woodwork Institute is still an independent association, and The WI Approach is the place to find information on our policies and procedures, quality assurance programs, membership information, and much more! The WI Approach is complementary when the AWS is requested from the Woodwork Institute. You may also browse the entire publication, or select the section you're interested in below.

Disclaimer:
This is a supplement document only, and by no means should be referred to as a full explanation of policies and procedures. Specific policies and procedures may by obtained by contacting our Administrative Office at 916-372-9943.
