This certificate trains students to operate and maintain power-generation and building-mechanical systems at the fourth-class level, and is accredited by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). Coursework covers prime movers, heat engines, refrigeration, HVAC systems and electrical controls, preparing graduates to write the TSSA 4A and 4B examinations. Students complete a mandatory three-month unpaid work placement to accumulate the on-site steam time required for a fourth-class operating-engineer certificate; the college assists students in locating an eligible placement, which may require relocation within Ontario. The programme runs over three semesters within one academic year at the Main Windsor Campus with a September start. Graduates who obtain TSSA certification can work as fourth-class operating engineers in facilities across Canada, including hospitals, plants and commercial buildings.
