Program details
Overview
Carpentry and Renovation Technician coursework covers reading project plans and producing technical sketches to support construction and renovation work, and finishing construction phases that run from site layout and footings through to interior and exterior finishes, following blueprint specifications and conservation principles. Students practice material estimating and quoting in line with contracts and the Ontario and National Building Codes, apply basic technical mathematics and building science to solve on-site problems, and select and safely use hand and power tools. The program also covers sustainability practices, communicating and collaborating with clients, supervisors and tradespeople, scheduling and monitoring project progress, and the basic business principles behind running a construction or renovation enterprise.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Fanshawe admits Carpentry and Renovation Technician applicants who hold an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or who qualify as mature applicants with Grade 12 Math (C or U, MCT4C preferred). Applicants short of this course are directed toward academic upgrading or Fanshawe's one-year Trade Fundamentals preparatory program, which supplies all admission requirements for this program. English requirement per Fanshawe's institution-wide English Language Requirements table (same table cited on the program page): IELTS Academic overall 6.0/no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT overall 4.5/no section below 4 on the 2026 scale (79 on the pre-2026 scale); PTE Academic, CAEL, Duolingo, Cambridge English and LanguageCert are also listed. Summer employment in construction or a related activity is recommended personal preparation. Where eligible applicants exceed available seats, Fanshawe ranks by preference for Ontario permanent residents, then by applications received by February 1st, then by strength against the admission requirements; Fanshawe's Pre-Technology program is the preferred (though not guaranteed) preparatory route into this program.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
