Program details
Overview
This certificate in building electricity at Polytechnique Montréal covers the theory and practice of building electrical installations, including electrical equipment, control and protection systems, heating and air-conditioning systems, lighting, auxiliary systems such as alarms and generators, and distribution, along with the codes, standards, and terminology that govern the field. The 30-credit program is delivered part-time, with evening and online courses, and can be paced at 3, 6, or 9 credits per term to fit around work. It targets working professionals, including graduates in mechanical, physics, or electrical engineering, technicians, technologists, drafters, and staff in manufacturing, consulting engineering, and utilities who want theoretical and practical knowledge of industrial and building electricity, as well as internationally trained graduates updating their skills. It can be combined with two other eligible certificates toward a cumulative bachelor's degree in building technologies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page does not state formal academic prerequisites; it describes the certificate as intended for working professionals — particularly graduates in mechanical, physics, or electrical engineering, technicians, technologists, drafters, and staff in manufacturing, consulting engineering, or utilities — who want theoretical and practical knowledge of building and industrial electricity, as well as internationally trained graduates updating their skills. As with all Polytechnique Montréal undergraduate certificates, international students holding a study permit cannot be admitted, because these programs do not meet Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada's requirements for that visa category.
