College Certificate - Electrical Techniques (3831)

The College Certificate - Electrical Techniques at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a one-year college certificate that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.

This one-year certificate builds practical electrical trade skills — wiring, circuits, the electrical code, conduit, safety and hands-on installation — in workshop-based training. The skilled trades are an IRCC priority field. Graduates enter the electrical trade as installers and apprentices in construction and maintenance, with a pathway toward apprenticeship and licensing.

Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, Toronto — the flagship campus of Ontario's first public college. This field aligns with the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; confirm the program's CIP code on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list, as the final decision rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Electrician Apprentice, Electrical Installer and Wiring Technician, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.

Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
