This two-year Ontario College Diploma program combines new construction technology with traditional carpentry techniques.

The first year of the program focuses on modern construction practices including woodworking, framing, roofing, and finish carpentry. In the second year, students learn the traditional building methods of timber framing, log construction, and joinery.
