To become a diamond driller, you need to get a DVS in drilling. The program lasts four months.

It’s a perfect choice for those who love to move and work outdoors, and who don’t enjoy monotony. No two days in the life of a diamond driller are the same!
A driller can make a very good living. According to Jobillico, the average salary for a driller in Canada is $78,624 per year.
The CFP de la Baie-James says that with performance bonuses directly tied to productivity and metres drilled, as well as distance bonuses, a diamond driller could earn up to $100,000 per year after three years on the job.
