The Technology Foundations (ICET) program at Centennial College is an educational pathway if you're interested in attending one of the school's technical programs. Once you finish this technology certificate program, you'll meet the academic requirements for other School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science (SETAS) programs.

Successfully completing the Technology Foundations program's courses may also provide you with exemptions for certain courses in some programs, depending upon the grade level you achieve.

To prepare you for entrance into specialized diploma and advanced diploma programs in the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science, this offering will help you develop a thorough understanding of personal, academic and professional requirements. You'll acquire skills in:

• Communication
• Mathematics
• Technology
• Computers
• Science

The Technology Foundations certificate program is geared towards applicants who, for whatever reason, don't meet the regular entrance requirements for Centennial's diploma and advanced diploma SETAS programs.

Program Highlights

• You gain skills by participating in hands-on activities in modern labs.
