Cert in Carpentry is a certificate in Trades programme offered by Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick in Miramichi, Canada. The programme runs for 35 weeks. Tuition for international students is CAD 10,258 per year (CAD 3,662 per year for local students).
Carpentry is a certificate program offered by the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) that trains students to build and renovate residential and commercial structures. Coursework covers formwork for footings and walls, floor and wall framing, roof and stair construction, interior and exterior finishes, and door and window installation, all carried out to the standards of the National Building Code as applied in New Brunswick. Training includes site setup, concrete work, and blueprint reading for carpentry, and the program concludes with a workplace stage. It is offered at the Dieppe, Edmundston, and Péninsule acadienne campuses. It suits students who enjoy working with wood and tools, prefer varied, often outdoor physical work, and are comfortable calculating measurements and working from construction plans, with the college noting that experienced graduates can advance into construction-supervision roles.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows CCNB's Profile B: a New Brunswick high school diploma (regular, modified, or adult programme), GED, CCÉA, PCE/PCR, CESA, or PCEA, with Mathematics 30321A, 30311B, or 30331C. Applicants who do not meet this pathway may instead pass the CCNB admission test; international applicants need an equivalent secondary diploma plus this test. The programme notes that some practicum placements may require English-language skills. As with all CCNB programmes, applicants whose mother tongue is not French, or who have not completed at least three years of French-language secondary schooling or a French-language postsecondary programme, must demonstrate French proficiency through the TFI (minimum score 700), TCF or TEF Canada (level B2), DELF (B2), or DALF (C1).
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick publishes no fixed application opening or closing dates, for either domestic or international applicants, for the autumn or winter session; the selection process begins in November for the following academic year, and complete applications are evaluated on a rolling basis as they are received. Rather than calendar deadlines, CCNB publishes a list, refreshed each cycle, of which programmes currently have admissions open (a 2026-27 list is live, covering Automne 2026), and it recommends applying early because some programmes draw more applications than seats available. Once an offer is made, domestic applicants have 30 days to confirm their place, while international applicants have 21 days. No separate international application deadline exists; the same rolling process applies to international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
