La terminologie est aussi enseignée en anglais, et le diplômé peut se faire parrainer comme apprenti charpentier-menuisier en vue de la certification ontarienne; un stage en milieu de travail vient clore le parcours.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: For domestic applicants the page lists three accepted secondary credentials: the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent; Quebec's Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES); or New Brunswick's Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES). Applicants 19 or older without a diploma may instead pass La Cité's French-language mature-applicant test. Before classes start, admitted students must have an up-to-date immunization record. International applicants must hold a secondary-school diploma or baccalaureate, or be in their final year of secondary school with proof of enrolment. La Cité describes its admission process as competitive because of limited capacity, and states that admission is never guaranteed even when every published requirement is met. The page also notes that, as of this fetch, the programme was already full and no longer accepting Fall 2026 applications from either domestic or international candidates. Instruction is in French.
