Check the Civil Engineering Technology route
NAIT describes Civil Engineering Technology as a two-year diploma, or a two-and-a-half-year co-op diploma. It combines field and office skills, including computer-aided design and drafting. The page shows a current program record and an international-application status; intake availability can change, so check the live page before applying.
For the standard high-school route, the page lists Grade 12 Language Arts (English 30-2), Grade 12 Mathematics (Math 30-2), Grade 11 Physics (Physics 20) or Grade 11 Science (Science 20), and English proficiency. NAIT also lists an Open Studies alternative: ENGL 1125, MATH 1245 and/or STRC 1115 can replace the corresponding minimum requirement with at least C or GPA 2.0 in each course. A post-secondary route requires at least 24 credits or eight courses, a 2.0 admission GPA and English proficiency. Check the page for the full conditions.
Compare different credential routes
The wider catalogue includes routes that do not share this application model. Electrical Installations Technology is a diploma and an alternative pathway into apprenticeship training; its page currently accepts international applications. Automotive Service Technician is apprenticeship education leading to a journeyperson certificate. It combines classroom instruction with paid on-the-job training and directs applicants through Tradesecrets. Check credential, intake and application route before comparing two programs by subject alone.
