Program details
Overview
This micro-credential builds core skills in designing mass timber structures and modelling them in 3D using Cadwork software for fabrication. It also covers communication for resolving conflict, working with different wood species on a project, and design considerations for machining components by CNC. Participants produce the 2D drawings and materials lists needed to assemble a project.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page sets no mandatory academic prerequisites and states no English-language test score; instead it lists recommended background for success, such as completion of the Mass Timber Fabrication Foundations micro-credential, an architecture or engineering design diploma, carpentry or timber-framing experience, an advanced-manufacturing diploma, or a digital fabrication and design certificate or diploma. Given the technical demands of the Cadwork software used, the page also recommends a strong aptitude for 3D design, strong written and verbal communication skills, organisational and detail-oriented habits, and advanced computer competence, and invites applicants unsure whether they meet these recommended prerequisites to contact the college. Admission itself runs on a first-submitted-application, first-qualified basis until the cohort is full, with no separate entrance exam or interview described.
