Architectural Technician

The two-year Architectural Technician diploma program prepares students to work alongside architects, designers, contractors, and builders in the architecture and construction industries. Through hands-on learning in modern architectural studios, students develop technical drawing, design, and drafting skills while exploring sustainable building practices, construction materials, structural systems, and building science. The program combines design fundamentals with industry-standard software and equipment to help students understand the technical requirements of building design and development.

Through project-based learning and teamwork, students gain experience with 2D and 3D computer-aided drafting, modelling, rendering, construction drawings, and architectural presentations. The curriculum also covers building codes and regulations, construction methods, structural systems, project management, budgeting, and construction law. Graduates develop the practical and technical knowledge needed to contribute to architectural design projects and support building planning and construction processes.
