Sheet Metal Systems at Nova Scotia Community College is a one-year certificate program covering the layout, fabrication, and installation of sheet metal products and duct systems. Students develop skills in fabrication and installation techniques for air handling systems and environmental controls used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including ductwork and roofing products, alongside construction documentation and communication skills. Training combines theory with hands-on, practical application in a shop setting under faculty with industry experience. Because the trade requires working at heights and around moving equipment, applicants need adequate vision and colour perception, good hand-eye coordination, and comfort with heights. A mandatory field experience course, typically unpaid and lasting about five weeks, gives students the chance to apply their knowledge and skills outside the classroom. The program begins each September and graduates are eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit, preparing students for entry-level careers as sheet metal workers in the construction and manufacturing trades.
