Program details

Overview

This fast-track pathway lets internationally and domestically trained electrical technicians and technologists, along with others holding relevant experience or diploma or degree credentials, have that background assessed to avoid repeating coursework already covered. It also suits those wanting to update their knowledge and skills amid rapid change in the field. Project-based coursework simulates actual workplace assignments, building experience in producing electrical drawings and in diagnosing and analysing electrical systems, alongside grounding in electrical circuits, instrument maintenance, and how electrical motors and power transmission equipment function in industrial settings.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Fast-track entry requires a diploma or degree in electrical engineering, electrical technology, or a related science or engineering field, confirmed through transcript review. English proficiency is assessed via Centennial's own English Admission Test, on which the programme requires a score of 160 to 161; the page states that beyond this test the college's general English Language Proficiency policy also applies, which for diploma programmes accepts IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 67 (minimum 16 Reading, 23 Writing), PTE Academic 51 or higher, CAEL 60, or Duolingo 105-114. A Math Skills Assessment may also be requested at the college's discretion. Students complete electrical-lab safety, WHMIS, and PPE training. The fast-track pathway runs two semesters (one year).

Application Details

Application Deadline: Centennial publishes no application deadline for this program; what follows is the Ontario college cycle that governs it. Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for a program starting in Fall 2027 the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and applications arriving after it are still assessed, but first-come first-served while places remain.
