Program details
Overview
The Architectural Building Technology Diploma (program code ABT) at LaSalle College Vancouver offers practical training in construction and design. Students work with materials and design elements relevant to architectural and building technology, using industry-standard tools and technology as part of their instruction, with the programme aimed at preparing graduates for career readiness and employment in the sector. Students may add an optional co-op component after their initial four quarters of coursework, consisting of two paid work terms totaling 770 hours completed over up to 12 months, with an optional break of up to 150 days between terms. Co-op combines classroom instruction with supervised workplace experience, helping students build practical skills, earn income and develop industry connections before completing the programme. On completion, students earn a diploma from LaSalle College Vancouver. This programme is not eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this diploma is evaluated on the applicant's prior education and submitted documents rather than a minimum grade point average or entrance exam. Domestic applicants generally need to provide proof of secondary school graduation or an equivalent credential, together with a copy of government-issued photo identification. International applicants must meet the same baseline of secondary school completion, but must submit that proof with official English translations, along with a photocopy of a valid passport and proof of English language proficiency. No program-specific minimum grade, required course, entrance essay, or portfolio is stated for this diploma; the listed documents are the general admissions criteria LaSalle College Vancouver publishes on the program's own page, and the same criteria are repeated across its other business, technology, culinary and hospitality diplomas.
