Program Overview

In our two-year Architectural Technician diploma program, you'll learn in state-of-the-art architectural studios with the most up-to-date equipment and software. We'll equip you with a thorough knowledge of architectural drawing and technical design skills, as well as an understanding of sustainable building design and construction materials.

Throughout the program, we emphasize teamwork in a project-based learning environment. Courses cover 2D and 3D computer-aided drafting, design, rendering, and modelling, design and development drawings, construction drawings, and architectural presentation.
