A registered 2^nd Class power plant training facility on campus, curriculum that is endorsed by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), and the only program of its kind in northern Ontario, are just a few of the reasons to take Cambrian's Power Engineering Technology program.

This program will help you maximize your career opportunities by preparing you to challenge the TSSA 2^nd Class Operating Engineering exam. It will also prepare you for supervisory and management of both power plant systems and personnel. You'll gain knowledge and skills in all aspects of power plant operation and maintenance, both theoretical and practical, at the 4^th Class level in first year, the 3^rd Class level in second year, and the 2^nd Class level in your final year.

Theoretical concepts discussed in class are further explained and illustrated in the College's Power Plant Training Facility – a registered 2^nd Class plant where you will help operate and maintain equipment in a safe and efficient manner.

The third year is delivered as a combination of online courses and classroom experiences. This delivery alternative gives students the flexibility to learn from the convenience of their home communities.

Subjects of instruction closely follow the Standardized Power Engineers Examination Committee (SOPEEC) syllabus and help prepare you to challenge the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) examinations required for 4^th Class, 3^nd Class, and 2^nd Class certifications as an Operating Engineer.
