Humber’s Carpentry and Renovation Techniques certificate is one of three stackable programs within the Carpentry-Construction group. Along with the Building Construction Technician diploma and the Construction Engineering Technology advanced diploma, the program introduces students to the carpentry trade, gives practical experience with trade regulations and with best practices. Students will be able to move from this certificate program into the diploma and advanced diploma programs. Additionally, Humber’s Carpentry and Renovation Technician diploma and Industrial Woodworking Technician diploma offer additional pathways.

This program is designed to introduce students to both the practical experience necessary for trade regulations and the academic requirements of carpentry trade certification. Students will gain a solid understanding of the fundamental technical elements of the carpentry trade.

Students will learn health and safety practices and perform building construction and renovation tasks in compliance with contracts, building code, laws and ethical practices. These practices will be taught in light of established sustainability practices. Students will learn to safely operate tools and assist in the preparation of estimations. Essential learnings also include time management, team work and problem solving.

We studied this course during 2025, and it requires substantial improvement. Most of the professors are not sufficiently qualified, as many do not hold PhDs. In addition, several instructors teach at multiple colleges simultaneously, which limits their availability and support for students. The course is poorly organized overall. There is significant overlap between the content of different courses, and it was never clearly explained why this duplication exists. This overlap wasted a considerable amount of our time. Assignments are often long and demanding, yet they are scheduled within very short timeframes, combined with an unorganized timetable. Some teachers demonstrate clear bias. We submitted formal complaints to the dean regarding these issues, but the school did not take any noticeable or effective action. There are also cases where teachers fail students without providing clear academic reasons. As a result, many students are forced to repeat the same course for two or even three semesters. After completing this course, job opportunities are not guaranteed. Overall, the program appears to be designed for students interested in PR immigration, but it is not suitable for students who aim to work in the AI field. Based on our experience, the existing 5-star reviews do not seem to reflect the reality of the course and may come from individuals who did not study it or are posting misleading reviews.

I’ve met some of the most inspiring people at Humber — classmates, profs, even guest artists. The vibe on campus is energetic and creative. The media labs are amazing, and I’ve already started freelancing while in school. It’s not perfect (what school is?), but it’s helped me find my voice and my future.
