Program details

Overview

The Pre-employment Cabinetmaker certificate program prepares students for work in a cabinet or architectural millwork shop. Over 12 weeks, students learn to produce custom wood products, interpret diagrams and specifications, and create drawings for woodworking projects. Coursework covers reading and interpreting blueprints, safe operation of woodworking machinery, properties of different wood types, and practical skills in measuring, cutting, assembling and finishing wooden components and cabinetry, alongside trade safety practices. The program aligns with the first period of Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training's Cabinetmaker curriculum, and graduates are eligible to register as apprentices and challenge the first-period exam. It is intended for those with limited prior woodworking experience seeking a fast route into the trade. Delivery is in person at SAIT's Main Campus. The program does not accept international applicants.
