Program details

Overview

The two-year diploma prepares students to provide technical support for developing, maintaining and testing modern manufacturing equipment used in industries such as steel, mining and green energy. Skills covered include analysing and testing machines, components and materials; preparing conventional and computer-aided engineering drawings and specifications; assisting with the design of material-handling and maintenance equipment; inspecting mechanical installations; and installing, repairing and maintaining machinery. Graduates earn an Ontario College Diploma together with Millwright Apprenticeship levels one through three.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with Grade 12 College English (ENG4C) at a C average and Grade 12 Foundations for College Mathematics (MAP4C) at a C average, or equivalent; applicants without these credits may qualify as mature students and can complete missing prerequisites free through Sault College's Academic Upgrading program. The programme page defers non-Canadian-educated applicants to the college's international admission requirements, which set English proficiency at IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 79-80 with no section below 20, PTE Academic 60 with no band below 52, or Duolingo English Test 110 with no band below 105, valid within two years of the program start. No portfolio, interview, or additional conditions are stated.

Application Details

Start Date: September

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in September 2027, the application system opens on 26 September 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which qualified applications are assessed first-come, first-served until seats are full; Sault College publishes no equal-consideration date of its own, and neither OCAS nor the college states a separate date for the January 2027 intake. International applicants apply directly to Sault College rather than through ontariocolleges.ca; the college states only that applications are reviewed within five business days of submission and publishes no fixed opening or closing date for international admission. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
