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.

OUR PROGRAM
Complete this comprehensive robotics technician training program using an interactive learning package. The Robotics Technician certificate program
at George Brown College introduces the concepts of industrial robots and explains how they can be used in a plant or manufacturing system. The primary
focus of the program is on automated manufacturing processes, as well as the role of robots and their support equipment. Receive instruction through
both theoretical concepts and laboratory exercises using a combination of multimedia learning resources and a robotics simulation software package. Learn
to program, test and debug robot programs. Areas of study include motion programming, palletizing, conveyor systems, computer networking, automated sorting
systems, vision and tactile sensors and computer integration.
This Distance Education program provides you with an easy-to-use, home-study approach that requires only a home computer and an internet connection;
you do not need expensive books or lab equipment. The robotics simulation software converts your computer into a fully functioning industrial robot,
complete with a three-dimensional learning environment that includes manufacturing plants and control systems.
You may enrol in the program at any time (open enrolment). Complete each module in your own time. Typical completion time is 28 weeks of part-time study,
but there are no time limits (and previous electronics and/or robotics/automation experience and education may reduce that time significantly).
PREREQUISITES
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (with credits at or above the general level) or equivalent or mature student status. An electronics background is helpful
but not essential.
FEE
$85 per module/course (13 modules/courses), plus $395 for the CD-ROM (which includes all software and required materials). International applicants
are charged the same fees but in U.S. dollars (US$85 plus US$395); 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 the CD-ROM course materials for this program.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
- Pentium-based computer or equivalent
- CD-ROM drive and sound card
- minimum 32MB RAM (64MB recommended)
- minimum 100MB available disk space

Telephone tutorial assistance is available (toll-free) at 1-888-553-5333.
YOUR CAREER
This program prepares you to install, service, maintain, troubleshoot and repair robots and automated production systems (mechanical and electrical).
The skills acquired through this program enable you to work closely with designers, engineers and technologists and to be involved in the developing,
testing, programming and actual on-site installation of new robots. The training and knowledge you gain from this program allow you to work as a robotics
trainer and to train others to install, use and maintain robots.
