Overview

Diploma - Building Construction Technician

Humber’s Building Construction Technician diploma program is one of three stackable programs within the Carpentry-Construction group.

Along with the Carpentry and Renovation Techniques certificate, and the Construction Engineering Technology advanced diploma, the program introduces students to the carpentry trade and gives practical experience with trade regulations and with best practices. 

Students will be able to move from this diploma program into the advanced diploma program. 

You will learn worksite health and safety practices in accordance with legislation and regulations; and how to review building plans and complete work in compliance with contractual obligations, codes, applicable laws, bylaws, standards and ethical practices. 

Coursework will include sustainability practices.

You will also learn to produce project sketches and documents in accordance with project specifications, assist in the preparation of estimations and safely operate tools.  

You will be well-prepared for all building stages - from site layout and footings to the application of interior and exterior finishes.

Optional Co-op

This program offers a co-op option

A co-op work term enables you to apply your skills and knowledge in a work environment and gain valuable, practical experience related to your program of study. 

For students who are accepted into the program, one co-op work term will take place between Semesters 2 and 3. 

There are limited spaces in the co-op option. 

Therefore, during Semester 1, you will be provided information about the application process and will be able to apply to the co-op stream at that time. 

While co-op work opportunities are not guaranteed, as students are in a competitive job placement market, participating students will receive a wide range of services to help them find a co-op opportunity.
