Program overview
The Graduate Certificate in Industrial Automation Network Infrastructure at Lambton College's Sarnia campus is a graduate certificate that gives you a strong, career-focused, hands-on education in this field.
This post-graduate program builds industrial automation and network infrastructure skills on top of your existing qualification — PLCs, controls, robotics, industrial networking, instrumentation and Industry 4.0 — through hands-on labs. Automation skills are in strong demand, especially in Sarnia's industrial region. Graduates work as automation, controls and network-infrastructure technicians in manufacturing and process industries.
Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Lambton College's Sarnia campus in Ontario — an affordable college in Canada's industrial heartland. This program is on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list (CIP 15.0403), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; the final decision always rests with IRCC.
Graduates are well placed for roles such as Automation Technician, Controls/PLC Technician and Instrumentation Technician, leaving with practical, hands-on skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.
Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
With supportive instructors, modern facilities and a strongly career-focused approach, international students at Lambton College get practical learning and a welcoming place to study.
