Work experience includes demonstrating safety procedures while working with boilers, pumps, compressors, prime movers, water treatment, air conditioning and refrigeration, and process controls. Practicum must be completed in a facility suitable under Power Engineering Regulation. Before registering for this course, students must have applied for 4th Class Part A government examinations. P/F. Prerequisites: EN 128 & EN 129. Co-requisites: None |
- A pass mark in EN 128 and EN 129 are required to write the ABSA provincial exams.
- 65% is the passing mark for each course. This is also the Alberta Boilers Safety Association (ABSA) passing grade.
- Provincial exams will be booked on your own.
Steam Time
ABSA requires 960 hours/6 months of steam time at a properly rated facility to complete your 4th class certificate of competency. Your options for completing steam time are:
- Find a placement on your own and enrol in EN 131. This practicum course enriches and guides your experience, allowing you to get the most out of your experience.
- Complete our 5-week steam lab (QTRA 231) to get all the hours you need.
Completion of EN 131 or the steam lab will also allow you to receive a 4th class power engineering certificate from Lakeland College.
