Program overview
A one year college certificate in plant operation, covering boilers and pressure vessels, thermodynamics, plant systems and controls, safety regulation and preparation for the fourth class certification examinations.
At CAD 21,882 this is among the dearest programmes at Doon, reflecting the plant equipment and simulation the training requires. Note that Conestoga does not list it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, despite power engineering being a recognised certified trade in Ontario.
College Certificate in Power Engineering Techniques, 4th Class is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. Read this carefully: the power engineering certificate sits below degree level and does NOT appear on Conestoga’s own list of PGWP-aligned programmes. Treat the power engineering certificate as carrying no post-graduation work permit unless Conestoga confirms an eligible CIP code for the power engineering certificate in writing. Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the power engineering certificate.
Candidates for College Certificate in Power Engineering Techniques, 4th Class present Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the power engineering certificate is recorded at CAD 21,882. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the power engineering certificate. The power engineering certificate lists three entry windows, one in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the power engineering certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80 with 20 in every section; PTE Academic 53 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 110.
- Application and deposit: Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Power engineer is a certified occupation in Ontario regulated by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. Certification requires examinations and documented operating experience beyond this programme.
- Work rights: The power engineering certificate does NOT appear on Conestoga’s PGWP-aligned list. Assume no work permit unless the college confirms an eligible CIP code in writing. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 5 in all four abilities for college credentials, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No dependant work permit.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
