College Diploma - Architectural Technician (3101)

The College Diploma - Architectural Technician at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a two-year college diploma that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.

You will learn to turn building designs into technical reality — architectural drafting, CAD and BIM, building codes, materials, construction detailing and documentation — through studio-based, applied learning. Construction-linked technology skills align with IRCC's priority fields. Graduates work as architectural technicians and technologists, CAD/BIM and design technicians with architects, builders and developers.

Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, Toronto — the flagship campus of Ontario's first public college. This field aligns with the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; confirm the program's CIP code on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list, as the final decision rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Architectural Technician/Technologist, CAD/BIM Technician and Design Technician, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.

Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
