Posted via RS Mobile | The program itself is good save for a few classes that I personally feel are just there as fillers.
It's the select few faculty members that make the program shitty at times.
The lack of caring and coordination on their part makes things that much harder for the students in an already difficult program.
If you have good work ethic and are capable of working hours on hours (which you seem to be) then you should be fine.
If your program right now is what I think it is, there will be alot more emphasis on math and physics if you choose to transfer into ABET.

Need to talk to an advisor, all my courses are ASCT, and I touch on everything a little bit, we have already finished 2D/3D autocad, starting REVIT very soon. I would like to have at least a diploma out of this, so I can continue on with the degree whenever. But as of right now after this 10 month program is done, its just a certificate which doesnt really get you anywhere.

When I was working full time a couple years back I wanted to start moving up so I started job hunting. 90% of the job posting I viewed required one of the following:
-At least 5 years of experience
-Minimum a diploma
-Degree
Not once did I see a posting that mentioned the word "certificate"
That's not to say the certificate is useless, but like I said the field experience will get you a lot further.
Even if you decide to go for a degree, IMO you'll still have a tough time finding work if you have little to no experience.

I chose ASCT over ABET because I didn't even know about ABET. Had I known this was what I wanted to pursue, I would've applied for ABET instead. I do regret not looking into it more than finding a shorter program, in this case 10 months. So now I need to look into getting into ABET or any other building tech related diploma program at BCIT.

Schooling and work experience can sometimes be a bit of a "Which came first? The chicken or the egg?" question.
There's one train of thought where education = career. Maybe if you are in a particular field of study, like medicine, law, nursing, accounting, engineering etc. But on the other hand, in order for you to get into those professions, you have to start doing something and somewhere which usually means from the bottom.
What I've come to experience and see is if you don't apply yourself and live in a bubble of entitlement, you will get nowhere. You need to put in your time, get the experience, recognition and acceptance of your industry peers and go from there.
There's a reason why there are so many university grads out there making drinks for us at Starbucks or at our favourite hipster coffee shop. Every situation is unique, but even when McDonald's says to you, "If you got time to lean, you got time to clean" it's a wake up call. The real world. Ain't no Disney fairy tale where everyone lives happily ever after.

I took a program similar to yours (maybe the same thing but named differently now?), graduated and worked for a number of years, came back to school at an older age.
With that being said I really feel you don't need a degree to take your career far. It's just a matter of landing a position with a company you like and working your ass off.
Unless you were wanting to become an engineer...but dat liability

I'd hate to have to start the ABET 2 year diploma program when I would have done pretty much everything the ABET program teaches.
Goal for now is diploma for architectural technician.

| I graduated that program in 2006 and it took me about 7 months to find work. Once I landed a job I worked for about 5 years while taking some ABET stuff part time. Keep in mind at during this time I didn't really have any intention on going back full time then one day I took a good look and decided "fuck I'm not going anywhere". So I took a year or so to upgrade my math, physics, chem etc to apply for ABET. Im not sure if any of your credits are transferrable. I checked my transcript and alot of the courses were different/outdated or were changed up.
Also if my past program is similar to your current program then there's ALOT more material in ABET. Trust me.
