Program details

Overview

Students learn to produce sketches, interpret blueprints, work out building details, and assess construction sites as part of building a new structure or renovating an existing one. Carpentry instruction spans footings, framing, and both interior and exterior finishing work, with added focus on energy-efficient and sustainable building methods. Learners apply these skills through hands-on activities, closing with a substantial construction or renovation project that students complete during their final term of study.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, including Grade 12 English at the C, U or E level and Grade 11 Math. English-language proficiency follows the institution's requirement for certificate, diploma and advanced-diploma programmes: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 78, PTE Academic 55, or Duolingo English Test 110 overall with no sub-score below 85; domestic applicants meet it through the Grade 12 English prerequisite. Applicants missing the academic prerequisites may enrol in the college's Career/College Prep programme, offered free to Ontario residents 18 or older, and those with transcripts from outside Canada are directed to the college's transcript-evaluation process.
