Program Overview

With the Furniture Design and Joinery program, you'll learn to design, construct, finish and repair high-quality wood products such as kitchen cabinets, furniture and fixtures. You'll earn Level 1 technical training credit and work-based training hours toward your Interprovincial (Red Seal) certification as a cabinetmaker when you register as an apprentice. As a graduate, you'll be prepared to pursue a career in millwork, furniture building, cabinet making, marine joinery, residential finishing carpentry, sales or as self-employed artisans.

In this certificate program, you’ll learn foundational design principles and elements. Then, you will apply this knowledge to create your own shop projects.

You'll learn:

  • Shop drawing with free-hand sketching and computer drawing programs
  • Proper usage of hand tools, power tools and larger woodworking machines
  • Shop safety practices
  • Sustainable building materials and practices

After you graduate, you can find work in a small shop or in high-end industrial facilities with advanced machinery.
