Program overview
The College Diploma - Carpentry and Renovation Technician (CRT1) (Co-op) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
The technician-level carpentry diploma doubles the depth of the techniques certificate — two years of framing, finishing, renovation and estimating with eight months of paid co-op on job sites. Graduates enter apprenticeship with both shop training and site references, the combination builders promote fastest.
Scale is the quiet advantage here: specialised facilities, a vast alumni network and a co-op office with real employer reach, in a city thousands of dollars cheaper per year than the big metros.
PGWP eligibility for this credential turns on its field — CIP 46.0201 (Carpentry and renovation) — appearing on IRCC’s list at your application date, so verify on Fanshawe’s official page first.
