Requirements

Admission Requirements: ACADEMIC ENTRY: an OSSD or its equivalent (Mohawk Academic Upgrading or GED) including Grade 12 English at the C or U level or equivalent, and Grade 12 Mathematics - MAP4C at 60 per cent or better, or MCT4C, or any U-level mathematics or equivalent. Grade 11 or senior physics and chemistry are recommended rather than required. Mohawk also publishes a mature-applicant route for people without the school credits. PROGRESSION CONDITION you should know before enrolling: to meet the training-hour rules of the Canadian NDT certification body and to receive the Mohawk credential, students must keep full attendance and earn at least 70 per cent in every course. That is a graduation condition, not an entry condition, but it is stricter than Mohawk's normal pass standard. ENGLISH, where it is not your first language (Mohawk lists these as stand-ins for the Grade 12 English credit, and they apply to domestic and international applicants alike): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band under 5.5; or TOEFL iBT 80 (paper-based 550); or Duolingo 105-110 with no band under 100; or finishing Mohawk’s General Arts and Science - English for Academic Purposes program (478).

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through Ontario Colleges: for a September start Mohawk's equal-consideration date is 1 February (1 February 2027 for the next fall intake), and for a January start it is 1 June; after either date, files are considered first-come, first-served while seats remain, with permanent residents of Ontario prioritized, then other Canadian residents, then international applicants. International applicants apply via OCAS's International Application Service on a per-intake deadline rather than one annual date: for January 2027 entry, applications opened February 2026 and the submission deadline is 1 November 2026; Mohawk had not yet published a deadline for the September 2027 intake as of this check. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
