Shayan Ghashghaei
Electromechanical Technician

"As an Inside Sales Specialist sourcing and quoting nuclear utilities in Canada and around the world for electromechanical parts, I selected this program to get more insights into the daily operations we run within our lab,” says Shayan.

“This program provided the perfect 'free flow' structure, that could blend into my schedule. I particularly liked the Student Resource Center for support as they are very helpful and does a great job of explaining things when you get stuck on. I walked away with a much stronger foundational understanding of the relays, potentiometers, and fuses that move through our facility every day," he adds.

Oliver Gideon
Electric Vehicle (EV) Technician

Oliver Gideon is a freelance EV Technician. He enrolled into EV program to get official recognition with a certificate to demonstrate proof of his expertise.  

“I enjoyed the module on Batteries and Fuel Cell because it covers the fundamentals and applied skills needed on the job. I am already applying Maintenance and repair skills on the job that I learned from this program. So far, my responsibilities have increased to include diagnostics and repair of hybrid cars (EV part), and I intend to leverage my certificate and my experience to secure a more permanent role with a government institution. I am very happy to be able to successfully complete the program.”

Anonymous
Electronics Technician

I serve as a Field Service Representative for a leading global aerospace organisation. Following a recommendation from a colleague who successfully completed the Electronics Technician program, I enrolled into this program. I found the electronics calculations and virtual lab environments particularly valuable. 

This training has enhanced my aircraft troubleshooting capabilities, and I am better prepared for future career opportunities. I look forward to leveraging these added skills to contribute to automation design projects. 

 

Josh Finley
PLC Technician

As a Lead Industrial Maintenance Technician at FC Industries, I chose the program to enhance my day-to-day operational and technical capabilities. I discovered the PLC program through web search.  

During my learning journey, I found the course material to be great. I really liked the simulations, while the textbook provided was equally essential. Since completing the program, I have utilized my skills to troubleshoot equipment and implement critical safety and efficiency changes. As one of only two technicians in my department qualified to manage PLC programming, the program has proven to be an asset for my company. 

David LeCourt
Automation Technician

The Automation Technician Program at George Brown exceeded my expectations. The modules were detailed, technically accurate, and incredibly well-designed, allowing me to build a strong foundation in industrial automation while studying at my own pace. The knowledge I gained has already elevated my work at the IKEA Distribution Center, where I support advanced automated systems every day. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to grow in the automation field.  

Here at GBCTechtraining, we are very proud of our graduates. Their stories inspire us, and we hope they will inspire you as well!

Our Graduates have Created Opportunities to get the Jobs they Want 

Our students come from many different stages of their professional lives. Some are just starting out in their careers, while others are already well established. Regardless of stage, all our grads realized the opportunities available from taking our programs. Their increased knowledge and skills, combined with the confidence to take that next step in their career, has benefitted many greatly.

Finding the Time to Learn while Juggling the Busy Day-to-Day of our Lives 

We know that for our students, time is one of their most valuable resources. Our programs allow our students to work at their own pace, leaving the scheduling of learning, studying and exams up to them.

Through this flexible computer-based training format, our students are able to seek and find the right work life balance to allow them to be successful in these programs. They are able to continue working and spend the time they need with their families while still being able to earn the professional credentials.

Sharpening Skills and Practical Know-How

Knives need sharpening once in a while and so do your skills. Our programs help our students hone their skills. The programs integrate lab experiments with the theory through the use of software that simulates the behavior of real manufacturing tools and systems. It’s a great way to get experience and practice.

Students have the freedom to refer back to the program material using the simulation software to try all the "what-if" scenarios – for example with CircuitLogix, changing parts or component values, then re-running the simulation to see how changes affect the circuit's operation and performance.
