Lambton College answered the call of the industry and made its flagship Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology program available through online learning.
During the program development stage, input from various industry representatives ensured that the program reflected the reality of the workplace. This program is an innovative and highly technical program and each online course is facilitated by a qualified instructor with relevant experience.
Online students are eligible for co-op placements at certain points in the program and will be required to perform designated practical lab activities on Lambton College’s campus (or suitable facilities approved by the College.) This practical experience will be instrumental in reinforcing the knowledge of the principles underlying the complex technologies used in today’s processing.
Students can now study the CPET program while continuing their current employment and set a pace that compliments their time availability. The online delivery format provides a flexible and portable solution to employers looking for accessible advanced training for their employees.
