Aimed at those already working in construction estimating or looking to enter the field, this part-time certificate builds a foundation in estimating practices and the core responsibilities of an estimator. Coursework gives practical experience with cost planning and control, tendering documents, unit costs, material quantities, bid preparation and surveying, along with reviewing specifications and performing quantity take-offs. The program also brings in knowledge of construction project site management to support more accurate, informed estimating.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This part-time Ontario College Certificate requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or mature-student status for applicants 19 years of age or older, with no further Grade 11/12 subject prerequisites published. Rather than a scored English-language test, the program page states only that applicants must be able to receive instruction, respond, and research in the English language; no IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or other test score is published. The page also notes that students should have a general knowledge of spreadsheet software to succeed in the program. No interview, portfolio, or work-experience requirement is listed. Applicants apply through the standard Ontario Colleges process at ontariocolleges.ca, and Conestoga makes its final selection following an assessment of the admission requirements.
