Third Class Power Engineering-Theory Only

Program Overview

The second phase of the Power Engineering Technician program will give you practical training in high- and low-pressure boiler operations, water treatment systems, pump operations, controls and instrumentation, air conditioning and refrigeration, checking and maintaining equipment, using computers to monitor plant operations, plant safety, environmental management and communications.

Although power engineering isn’t classified as a trade, it is government-regulated and certified by the province where you live and work. It is divided into four levels of skills and training (First Class is the highest). A combination of work experience and course completion followed by rigorous interprovincial examinations allows an engineer to progress from one class to another.

You will cover the theory required to prepare you for Third Class interprovincial exams during the duration of this program (Exams Part A, Paper 1 & 2, Part B, Paper 1 & 2).
