Tiny House Design/Build Certificate
A month-long exploration of space efficient design, off-grid systems and carpentry
Whether you're a professional entering the tiny house market or a DIYer ready to build your own home on wheels, this immersive course gives you the design and carpentry skills to bring your vision to life.
Over four weeks, you’ll gain hands-on experience designing your own tiny house on wheels and collaborate with your classmates to build a tiny house shell. This course offers an integrated curriculum that covers basic carpentry skills and fundamental architectural design processes. You’ll also dive into the unique challenges of building tiny homes on wheels—from securing the structure to a trailer and designing for off-grid living, to maximizing space and planning for transport.
Think of this as your launchpad into the tiny house world. You’ll leave with a solid foundation, a ton of inspiration, and the skills to keep your project moving forward.
