Fifth Class Power Engineering

Program Description

Fifth Class prepares students to take the Provincial Fifth Class Power Engineering exam or the equivalent low-pressure heating plant certificate provincial exam. Provinces may recommend this course as study material for heating plant certificate examinations other than Fifth Class. In Alberta, the theory course credits six-months work experience and the lab credits another six-months towards the required 12 months. If you are outside of Alberta, please contact your local boiler branch for more information regarding government certification. Contact information can be found onsopeec.org. The price for distance courses does not include the cost of textbooks. For more information about the distance learning program, please email distance.education@sait.ca .

Please note that students are unable to transfer between Classroom and Distance/Online offerings of the theory course. In order to switch between Classroom and Distance/Online offerings, students must withdraw from their current course and register in their desired course.
