At St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Canada, Diploma in Environmental Technician (Fast-Track) is offered as a diploma in Energy Engineering programme. The programme runs for 3 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,070 per total (CAD 3,525 per total for local students).
Near the end of the fourth semester, students complete a four-week, unpaid, full-time work placement that immerses them in the protocols, workplace operations and processes of an environmental-technician setting and connects classroom learning to real applied practice. Placement sites may be local, regional, out of province or international, and either private or public.
Because it gives access to equipment and processes not otherwise available in the program, the placement builds specialization and industry awareness; a pass grade is awarded for the course on successful completion of the placement and its required assessments.
