Electronics Technician Program (Distance Education) (T901)
Program Description
Program Overview
International Students
This online distance program does not qualify for study/work permit (including PGWP) eligibility in Canada.
This program focuses on the skills needed to assemble, install, troubleshoot and repair electronic equipment used by consumers, businesses and industry. Students learn electronics theory and how to work with circuits and the various components of electronic systems such as capacitors, resistors, semiconductors and amplifiers. The focus is on a broad understanding of the field that students can then apply to specific areas of interest or employment.
Full Description
International Students
This online distance program does not qualify for study/work permit (including PGWP) eligibility in Canada.
The Electronics Technician Certificate program presents a complete in-depth introduction to the fundamentals of applied electronics. It covers the basics, from series circuits to digital electronics. This program provides hundreds of practical laboratory experiments using two innovative simulation environments (3DLab and CircuitLogix) to demonstrate theory and showcase examples from industrial and manufacturing electronics.
The Electronics Technician Certificate allows students to learn at their own pace, studying, experimenting and taking final exams when it fits into their busy schedule. The program is presented in 24 modules, each containing text, animations, mini audio lectures, illustrations, review questions, online resources, over 450 pre-built lab projects and practice exams.
Prerequisites
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (with credits at or above general level) or equivalent or mature student status. An electronics background is helpful but not essential.
Advanced Standing
If you have finished the Electromechanical Technician program, you are exempted from 18 modules of the Electronics Technician program.
Program Specific Computer Requirements
