ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY
BASICS OF PLC
PROGRAMMING		 To ensure that our course maintains top industry standards, it is designed and directed by a senior engineering technologist with extensive experience in PLC/Automation engineering, teaching, and system operations at a major manufacturing company.
Each student gains extensive hands-on training in installation, wiring, configuration, electronics troubleshooting and programming.
Unlike other short PLC courses limited to programming, this is an in-depth 50 hours "total skills" course of applied hardware and programming technology.
All full-time courses require a minimum of 10 hours of study/practice per week in addition to the regular scheduled classes.

THEORY OF
ELECTRICITY &
SAFETY
(PRE-EXAM)

This course is primarily dedicated to exploration of the Canadian Electrical Safety Code.  As a result of the studies students will be able to navigate freely through the Code by identifying and discussing how to use the code and how the code will effect particular installations and maintenance.  Upon completion of this course the journeyperson will achieve the necessary tools to pass successfully the Ministry Exam on #309A License "Electrician-Construction and Maintenance" and  comprehend the following electrical principles:
- Basic Electrical Laws (Ohm's and Kirchoff's)
- Branch Circuit Wiring 
- Distribution and Services 
- Motors and Motor Controls
- Control and Automation Systems
- Alarms and Signaling Systems
- Installation of Power Generators and Power Conditioning Systems
- Maintenance, Trouble-shooting, Replacement and Repair of Equipment & Components

INDUSTRIAL
ELECTRICIAN
(PRE-EXAM)		 The Industrial Electrician Pre-Exam course, is a blend of the practical and theoretical study.
This course will not only illustrate the different concepts of industrial electrical theory, but will also provide many practical examples of common tasks the industrial electrician must perform.
Upon completion of this course the journeyperson will achieve the necessary tools to pass successfully the Ministry Exam on License #442A "Industrial Electrician" and understand the following electrical principles:
- Basic Electrical Laws (Ohm's and Kirchoff's)
- Electrical Circuits
- DC&AC Motors and Drives Theory
- Basics of Industrial Electronics
- Motor Control and Instrumentation
- Power Transformers
- Digital and Analogue Logic Control
- Basics of PLC Programming.
 It is also the intent of the course to give the students the basic knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Safety Code.

ELECTRICAL
SHOP

Responding to new requirements for plant electrical personnel we organized this course. Our course is dedicated to installation of electrical equipment along with pneumatic equipment as an integral element of the industrial automation.
This course practically illustrates many important Canadian ELECTRICAL CODE requirements for the installation and maintenance which, when followed, should provide an essentially safe electric work performance.
Using professionally prepared displays students learn materials, tools and instruments for the installation. Each student gains extensive hands-on training in installation and completion of assignments.  This course helps, as well, in developing and improving the mechanical skills which nowadays are a very important requirement to industrial electricians.
