Cert in Pratique de la mécanique at Collège Boréal in Sudbury, Canada is a certificate in Mechanical Engineering programme. The programme runs for 2 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 12,954 per year (CAD 2,758 per year for local students).
This certificate introduces several areas of mechanical technique, including failure analysis, part design, preventive maintenance, machining of metal and other materials, and component repair and installation. General knowledge in safety, mathematics, computer-aided design, measuring instruments, welding and mechanical elements supports a strong base of practical skills, reinforced through hands-on shop work that lets students apply what they learn directly. By completion, graduates have the grounding needed to choose a specific trade and register as an apprentice toward becoming a machine tool operator or industrial mechanic.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (DESO), an Adult Continuing Education (ACE) certificate, the equivalent from another province, or the college's adult-candidate status, together with one French-language credit (FIF3U, FRA3C, FRA3U, FIF4U, FRA4C or FRA4U, or equivalent) and one mathematics credit (MCR3U, MBF3C, MCF3M, MAP4C or MCT4C, or equivalent). Applicants who do not hold the DESO, or its English-language credit, must submit an English-language proficiency result before admission; the programme page does not restate a score, so the college's own admission-requirements table applies: Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 6 / CEFR B2, met by IELTS Academic 5.5, TOEFL iBT/Essentials 60, or PTE Academic 40; this requirement is waived if the DESO is completed before classes begin. As at all Collège Boréal programmes, applicants whose secondary or postsecondary studies were not completed entirely in a francophone system must also meet the college's own French-language requirement: a TFEA (Boréal's internal test) score of 70%, Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 6-7, DELF/DALF level B2 (or C1/C2 DALF), TFI level B2 (score of 650), TEF level B2 (niveau 6), or TCF level B2 (niveau 4, score 400-499); those schooled entirely in French are exempt.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca (OCAS/SACO): Collège Boréal opens its admission cycle each October for programmes starting the following fall or winter, and for its limited-enrolment (contingenté) programmes the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which files are ranked first-come, first-served and may be waitlisted; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027 with the tuition deposit due 15 June 2027. International applicants apply through the SIA/OCAS international portal and face no fixed deadline, but Boréal recommends filing at least three months ahead: 1 June for the autumn session and 1 October for the winter session. Admission outside contingenté programmes is otherwise rolling until seats fill. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
