Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of courses
OUR PROGRAM
The Electronics Technician distance education program focuses on the skills needed to assemble, install, troubleshoot and repair electronic equipment
used by consumers, business and industry. Students learn electronics theory and how to work with circuits and the various components of electronic systems
such as capacitors, resistors, semiconductors and amplifiers. The focus is on a broad understanding of the field that students can then apply to specific
areas of interest or employment.
This is a Distance Education program in which you complete all courses by studying at home, with an interactive learning package on a personal
computer. Laboratory projects and exercises are also carried out in this way. The learning package consists of 23 courses (modules) on a
CD-ROM or DVD with text, video, animation, computer-based testing and a computerized simulation of an electronics laboratory. Students also
have telephone or e-mail access to a tutor for personal assistance.
You may enrol at any time during the year and complete the modules in the learning package at your own speed. Typical completion time is
32 weeks of part-time study, but there are no time limits.
PREREQUISITES
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (with credits at or above general level) or equivalent or mature student status. An electronics background
is helpful but not essential.
FEE
$55 per module, plus $280 for the CD-ROM or DVD (which includes all software and required materials). International applicants are charged
the same fees but in U.S. dollars (US$55 plus US$280); the posted exchange rate in effect at the time of your registration will be used to
determine the final fee in Canadian dollars. There is no refund on CD-ROM or DVD course materials for this program.
YOUR FUTURE STUDY OPTIONS
Credits from this program may be applied toward the Electronics Engineering Technician diploma program.
You can also transfer credits toward a four-year Bachelor of Science degree offered through George Brown College’s partnership with
Athabasca University.For further information on future study options, see transferguide.georgebrown.ca.
