Overview

Program Overview

The Electromechanical Technician Certificate program provides a complete introduction to electronics and electromechanical systems. This program is often of interest to people who want to study electronics with an emphasis on mechanical systems, for example, someone coming from a millwright background. The program covers mechanical topics outside of a typical electronics program, like industrial control devices, DC and AC motors and control circuits, transformers, analog and digital transducers, industrial process control and PLCs.

ADVANCED STANDING

If you have finished the Electronics Technician program, you are exempted from 18 modules of the Electromechanical Technician program.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

This online distance program is only available to study while remaining in your home country and does not qualify for study/work permit eligibility in Canada.
