Course Info

Summary

Broaden your career scope with the heavy oil power engineering (HOPE) diploma.

HOPE covers two power engineering classes. In first year, you’ll earn your 4th class certification. That’s a requirement before you move into your second practicum between your first and second year of classes.

For 3rd class training, you’ll move from the skills training in the Husky Power Engineering Lab to the more complex Energy Centre. It’s an integrated power plant with a once-through steam generator.

Power engineering is all about safely operating and maintaining boilers, turbines and engines. Your job prospects aren’t limited to the oil sector. You could work in:
• power generation
• chemical plants
• food processing
• hospital and institutional power plants

Our 2nd year steam practicum is what sets Lakeland apart. We find you spots, usually paid ones. This 3-month practicum comes after 200 hours of lab firing time.

When you finish, you can write ABSA’s certification exam.

Career Outcomes

Graduates from the HOPE program typically find work as:

• Field operators in the oil industry
• Fourth Class Power Engineer (after Alberta Boilers Safety Association (ABSA) certification) in heating plants, industrial power plants or pulp mills
