Program details

Overview

This two-year diploma readies students for a power-distribution career, building in-depth knowledge of installing, operating and maintaining a distribution system. Coursework covers electricity fundamentals and transformer theory in relation to distribution standards, along with an introduction to distribution-system design and CAD design. Students also learn to operate boom-equipped vehicles and carry out powerline rigging and fall protection, with safety emphasized throughout.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires an OSSD with the majority of credits at College (C), University (U), University/College (M) or Open (O) level, plus Grade 12 English at the College, University or University/College level and Grade 12 Math at the same levels, with MCT4C highly recommended; senior-level Physics is recommended for programme success. Mature applicants without an OSSD may write the College's admission tests.
