Student's can broaden their career scope with the process and power engineering diploma.

Process and power engineering covers two power engineering classes. In first year, student's earn their 4th class certification. That’s a requirement before they move into their second practicum between first and second year of classes.

For 3rd class training, student's 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. Job prospects aren’t limited to the oil sector. Student's could work in:

• power generation • chemical plants • food processing • hospital and institutional power plants

The 2nd year steam practicum is what sets Lakeland College apart. Lakeland College finds student's spots, usually paid ones. This 3-month practicum comes after 200 hours of lab firing time.

When student's finish, they can write ABSA’s certification exam.
