Program description - September 2025

Now is the time to consider a career in the electrical trades. Contractors and industry are always looking for people with solid foundational skills. The electrical trades offer a rewarding, fast-paced career; one in which you can play an essential role as a team member with an electrical contractor or in a manufacturing facility working with innovative technology. If you love working with your hands and are a creative problem solver, this program is for you. Electrical Techniques is a one-year Ontario College Certificate program which will teach you how electricity works, how to interpret code rules, read blueprints, and how electronics are used in today's high-tech world. You will be instructed by licensed electricians in dedicated electrical shops. Small class sizes and availability of equipment for everyone enable you to spend significant time with tools in your hands learning the skills that will make the difference in your career. The Electrical Techniques program includes academic upgrading, opening doors for you if you decide to continue your education at Conestoga College. You could choose to apply to any School of Trades programs or apply to the second term of the Electrical Industrial Technician diploma program (1154). The Electrical Techniques program is a great choice if you want to explore the career opportunities that the skilled trades have to offer, get job ready skills or pursue a new found passion for electrical technology.
