I currently work as a Lead Hand/Project Supervisor with Metco Installation Services, specializing in warehouse racking systems and conveyor installations. Our company focuses on material handling solutions, including distribution centers and automation-related projects. I selected the Robotics Technician program at George Brown to strengthen my technical knowledge in robotics and warehouse automation systems, and to better understand the theory behind the systems I work with in the field. I first learned about the program online while searching for robotics and automation courses that could complement my hands-on experience.

I really appreciated how the program combined theoretical concepts with practical applications. It helped me better understand robotics systems, sensors, control systems, and automation technologies used in real-world environments. I mainly used the materials provided and course content for self-study, as the structure made it easy to follow without requiring much additional support. I will apply this knowledge directly in my work, particularly with conveyors, automated systems, and future warehouse automation projects. The program has improved my confidence and technical perspective, especially when troubleshooting or planning installations. I also plan to use this certificate to continue developing my career in automation and robotics-related roles.

I am currently a Technical Manager for electronics contracting company, specializing in the commercial security and audio industries. I was looking for a comprehensive program that offered the depth of traditional trade training but could be delivered entirely online.

After searching online for a solution that fit my needs, I found this program to be the only one that delivered. I chose this course to back my hands-on experience with a formal training certificate. The curriculum is highly relevant, and it has been a great way to brush up on my knowledge and stay current with industry standards. 

I work as an Automotive Service Apprentice (Level 3) at a dealership. I joined the program to enhance my professional profile, gain further knowledge, and build upon the skills I previously acquired back home. I searched online for a program that would allow me to gain critical EV skills without compromising my full-time job or income.

I enjoyed the program and each of the modules covered during the training, particularly the sections on the battery Life and performance grading on EV. The resource centre was readily available, both by phone and email.  Their swift responses provided the necessary guidance to prevent any mistakes or confusion.  
This program has significantly enhanced my resume. Just a few weeks after my exam, my application was accepted, and I am now officially on track for my Red Seal licensing. 
 

As a Curriculum Developer for a public transit agency in Ontario, I design technical training for transit mechanics. I researched EV technician courses and discovered this program because our fleet is currently transitioning to electric vehicle (EV) buses.

The self-guided, remote learning format made it easy to integrate into my busy work schedule. The software provided was very helpful, and I am already applying what I’ve learned to the in-house training programs I develop. Since completing the program, I’ve been assigned as the primary developer for our EV-related programs. My opinions and decisions now carry more weight because they are backed by the specialized knowledge I gained. I am grateful to my employer for their support, as this program aligns perfectly with my professional responsibilities.  

I currently serve as the Instrumentation & Electrical Superintendent at Force Corporation. I chose the Automation program to deepen my understanding about controls and PLCs. Among the various modules, the motor controls and robotics programming were my favorites. The support I received was excellent. Whenever I called for information, the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Since completing the program, I am now able to troubleshoot complex problems at work.
