Cursus Sculpture EN • Wood sculpture learning program
This program introduces you to several complementary wood carving techniques : pattern carving, full-round wood sculpture, bansaw box and wood surface design. It brings together a series of courses that allow for a progressive and extensive learning process. Registration in this program gives you access to 4 courses of our program at a reduced price.
Advantages of the Cursus Technique I EN
- LEARNING PROCESS : You build your skills and ease in the workshop through a progressive and comprehensive learning process.
- DISCOUNT : You receive a 115 $ discount on the total price of courses purchased individually.
- INSTALLMENT PAYMENT : You can access an installment payment for your registration. You will be offered this option in the final stages of the online purchase process. However, if you purchase the cursus shortly before the start of the first course, payment by instalments may be limited or unavailable.

Have you already taken one or more courses in the ÉÉAM program?
Would you like to register for the cursus, but have already taken one or more of the ÉÉAM program courses in the past? Unfortunately, you must register individually for the courses you have not taken, and pay the full price.
The Cursus Sculpture EN (40 hours) is still an introduction to woodworking, compared to the technical college program, which is the learning and practice of the trade over a minimum duration of 3 years (1 965 hours).
Participants
Unless otherwise specified, ÉÉAM general public courses are only open to people 18 years of age and older.
As openness and inclusion are essential values for the ÉÉAM, the school strives to accommodate everyone who is interested in cabinetmaking. If you live with a functional limitation and have questions regarding your ability to attend training, please contact us to discuss.
