PGCert in Programme court de deuxième cycle pour l'utilisation du matériau bois dans la construction

This short postgraduate certificate (programme court de deuxieme cycle) on the use of wood as a construction material at Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi is a 15-credit, on-campus program with admission in the fall and winter terms. It develops competencies that let professionals in construction, architecture, building engineering, environmental fields, and related disciplines integrate wood structures into their construction projects. The program targets working professionals in these fields who want to add wood-construction expertise to an existing technical background rather than complete a full degree. Admission is open under two routes: candidates holding a bachelor's degree or an equivalent credential in fundamental sciences, applied sciences, or architecture, or candidates without that credential who can demonstrate the required knowledge, appropriate training, and relevant professional experience; an interview with the program director may be required for this second route. As a compact, single-focus credential, the certificate suits practitioners seeking applied, wood-specific construction knowledge to complement prior professional or academic experience in a related field.
