Advanced College Diploma - Civil Engineering Technologist (CIV3/CI3J)

The Advanced College Diploma - Civil Engineering Technologist (CIV3/CI3J) at Loyalist College's Belleville campus is a advanced college diploma that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will train in the design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure — roads, bridges, water systems and buildings — studying surveying, materials, structures, CAD, project management and construction methods, with extensive labs and field work. The program builds strong technical, drafting and problem-solving skills that construction and engineering employers need. Graduates work with engineering firms, construction companies, municipalities and consultancies, supporting real infrastructure projects across Canada.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Loyalist College's Belleville campus in eastern Ontario. This program is on Loyalist's official PGWP-aligned programs list (CIP 15.0201), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit — the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Civil Engineering Technologist/Technician, Construction Inspector and CAD/Design Technician, leaving with practical skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

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

With small classes, supportive instructors and a hands-on approach, international students at Loyalist College get personal attention and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
