Choosing the right training program is a big decision. You want to know: Does this help people like me build skills, feel more confident, and move forward?

Our Electronics Certificate Program is designed for people who are ready to get hands-on, practical knowledge they can use — from design, installation, maintenance to troubleshoot complex electrical systems.  

The circular economy aims to reduce waste, support the planet’s health, and provide usable materials to those who can continue to use them. While many think of steps like donating home goods or recycling paper products, e-waste is one of the most important components to making a serious impact on the environment. To be effective, highly skilled professionals, including electronics technicians, are essential.

Smart devices have become critical to the day-to-day function of many Canadian consumers and businesses. From at-home smart devices that can tell you the weather to manufacturing industry sensors that communicate temperature in long-haul trucks, smart devices are changing the way we operate.

Looking for training opportunities in the manufacturing sector as a technician but you aren’t sure which type of education would best suit your needs, electronics or electrical? 

Are you considering starting your electrician apprenticeship? In this article we will examine the five ways in which the Electronics and Electromechanical Technician Certificate programs, offered from George Brown College (GBC), can provide you with meaningful advantages to help with the successful completion of the “in-class” requirement for an electrician apprentice certification.  These advantages include:

Unless you’re an electrician or have experience working with or around voltages, the term “negative voltage” may be a confusing one to parse. After all, voltage is typically used to describe an electromotive force; the addition of the term “negative” therefore implies that the force is less than zero. How is that even possible? 

To some, a circuit is just an amorphous electrical term the meaning of which is not clearly known. Unassuming as they may sound, circuits make much of the technology that we use, and the technology used to make the products we consume, possible. It therefore begs the question - if circuits, parallel circuits in particular, are so widely used, why don’t more people know what they are and how they work?
