Architectural Heritage and Building Renovation (Applied Certificate) - Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology At the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (SIAST), an applied certificate is a credential issued 'for the successful completion of credit programs that provide introductory level skills training in a specific application of an occupation.' SIAST's 100-hour Applied Certificate in Architectural Heritage and Building Renovation will provide students with the specialized skills required in the assessment, preservation, renovation, and even marketing of older buildings. The Program will make heavy use of group study and individualized projects, and 'in addition to some required material' learners will be afforded 'several areas of elective study' enabling them to 'adapt the applied certificate to' their respective areas 'of expertise and interest.' The Program is meant to appeal primarily to builders, carpenters, contractors, developers, and others involved in the construction and/or renovation industries, as well as realtors and municipal building officials. The Student may obtain his/her applied certificate in any of 3 methods. Firstly, he/she may tale individual SIAST 'extension courses in Saskatoon and Regina whenever local heritage groups request them.' If the student accumulates the required credits through this method, he/she 'may earn the applied certificate.' Through the second method, students enrolled in the Architectural and Building Technologies Program will have 'the material for the applied certificate' included in the former's 4th semester. Qualified students who are 'not in the Architectural and Building Technologies Program' will be able to 'attend the fourth semester (May to July) at Palliser Campus (Moose Jaw) and earn' their applied certificates. The third method applied only to those enrolled in the Architectural and Building Technologies Diploma Program. Students of the latter may take the proper electives for the Architectural Heritage and Building Renovation program and graduate with both the Diploma and Applied Certificate.
