Renovation and Construction Technician provides students with a competitive advantage within the renovations and construction industry. Students first enjoy a classroom setting, where they can gain knowledge in theoretical aspects. Then the excitement begins, as students move into the “Build House” where they will construct a multi-room home using the skills and knowledge from the in-class components. The Build a House course provides a practical, hands-on construction experience which will be a huge asset when they seek a job.

 

KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS GAINED

Students spend approximately first half of the program learning the theoretical aspects of the Renovation and Construction industry, including how to use the various tools, how to determine quantities using building math, where to source suppliers, how to choose proper materials and arrange a discount, and more. Students spend the other half of the hours dedicated strictly to the hands-on practical aspects of the industry, including how to lay flooring (tiles, ceramic, hardwood, laminate, and/or linoleum), drywall, mudding, sanding, painting, and ceiling systems. They also learn about rough and finished carpentry, and an introduction to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
