Cert in Building Systems Technician

The Building Systems Technician program is a 40-week certificate at Saskatchewan Polytechnic that trains students to maintain and operate the mechanical and electrical systems used in commercial and institutional buildings, from energy-efficient boilers to HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Coursework covers electrical systems, ventilation, refrigeration, and water treatment, combining classroom instruction with lab-based practical training. The second semester includes a work placement that gives students hands-on experience in the field. The program is delivered on campus with a September intake. Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles maintaining building systems in commercial and institutional facilities. Admission requires Grade 12 standing and Saskatchewan Polytechnic's English Language Requirement; applicants who do not meet the Grade 12 requirement may qualify through ACCUPLACER testing or by presenting 15 approved post-secondary credits.
