College Certificate - Electrical Techniques (ELTP/ELPJ)

The College Certificate - Electrical Techniques (ELTP/ELPJ) at Loyalist College's Belleville campus is a one-year college certificate that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will build applied skills in electrical and electronic systems — circuits, electronics, motors and controls, wiring, code fundamentals and instrumentation — through extensive hands-on lab work with real equipment. As electrification and automation expand, these skills are in strong demand. Graduates work as electrical technicians, installers and maintenance and controls specialists in construction, manufacturing, utilities and automation, with clear apprenticeship pathways.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Loyalist College's Belleville campus in eastern Ontario. This program is on Loyalist's official PGWP-aligned programs list (CIP 46.0302), 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 Electrical Technician, Electrician Apprentice and Controls/Automation Technician, leaving with practical 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 small classes, supportive instructors and a hands-on approach, international students at Loyalist College get personal attention and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
