Hi Fidelis,
Sorry, but we don’t have a building training program. You might can find one in your area through a Jr. College or vocational school.

By the way. Never nail deck boards down. As the years go by with rain and sun, the nails will slowly rise up and hurt your feet, or give you a creaky deck when walked on.
Screwing is the best way, with deck screws.
And don’t even consider being cheap by using 2″ by 6″’s , as regular treated dimensional wood does have more of a tendency to create slivers over time , as compared to the 5/4 boards.
