College Certificate - Construction Techniques (4098)

The Construction Carpentry Techniques program is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to pursue employment in the construction sector after only 8 months.

Students learn how to build and perform basic carpentry work, work safely on construction sites, perform concrete and form work, conduct surveys and estimates, and even how to create lay-outs and read blueprints. As an option, students may succeed in securing an apprenticeship after graduating from the program and be able to reinforce and expand on the skills they have learned through hands-on experiences alongside a qualified tradesperson.

Graduates of this certificate program can work in entry-level positions in almost every sector of the construction industry. They can be employed on a project-by-project basis or work for a construction company. Small, medium and large companies, unionized and non-unionized, all employ construction/carpentry workers on a variety of projects in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
