Meet Our Graduates

Working as an Industrial Electrician within the automotive sector, Kevin, registered into the PLC Technician II program "to enhance his PLC knowledge but also prepare for a position change as a Controls & Automation Specialist."

Kevin was able to apply much of what he learned in the program to his current job. "We have many Siemens PLC's at work, however the GBC program gave me a broader sense of PLC's in the industry. Although I am programming Siemen's PLC's I found that it was fundamentally the same as taught in the GBC program. I work with robotics in my job so the module on Robotics was very informative."

"The 'go at your own pace' was important as it allowed me to work around my full time job. As well the interactive hands on' approach to the programming made it much easier to understand.

Mike Diomartich is a Mechanical Processing Engineer at FlowDynamics Inc., a company delivering food and beverage liquid processing services to the food and beverage industry. Part of Mike’s work mandate is to ‘bring PLC installation, programming and maintenance to the company.’

Mike felt the PLC Technician Certificate program, through George Brown College, ‘offered the best value in terms of price, convenience and providing a complete package of educational tools, including the simulation software.’ He most appreciated that the modules had ‘detailed step-by-step examples and allowed me to work at my own pace.'

Once he has finished the PLC program he will ‘continue training and register into the PLC Technician II program.’
