Working jointly with contactors, our programs are developed to adequately train workers for entry-level positions in the construction and renovations field. Our programs consist of 25% theory, and 75% percent hands on training.

Our student population includes young men/women looking to enter the construction trades industry, skilled trades' people seeking to obtain certification and newcomers to Canada with many years of experience and expertise in the construction trades. Many of the newcomers to Canada are highly educated professionals that are taking our programs in order to obtain hands on experience and prepare for Canadian Certification.

Upon graduation from the programs, students are granted certificates that provide legal proof of the profession obtained.

The contractors that have provided our students with employment, upon graduation, have given positive feedback about both the skill and professionalism of our graduates.
