EN 129 - 4th Class Power Engineering Part B Online
10 Credits
Outline Effective Date: 2021 Fall Version #14
Revised: Feb 10, 2021 Approved Jun 10, 2021
Course Description:
This is an self-paced online course study, Part B, of the Pan Global 4th Class Power Engineering material leading to provincial certification. The SOPEEC curriculum, which is used by all provincial power engineering regulatory bodies, has been used as a benchmark for the development of this course.
Rationale:
This course is of particular interest to students presently employed as field operators. Candidates who are considering a career in Power Engineering must successfully complete an approved course by the Alberta Boiler Safety Authority (ABSA) or Technical Safety Association of Saskatchewan (TSASK). By successfully completing both this course and EN 128 (Part A) the student is provided with the theoretical knowledge necessary to challenge the provincial government Fourth Class Power Engineer’s Certificate of Competency examination. In order for a student to be accepted by government to write the necessary provincial examination they must first have completed a TOTAL of 6 months as a practicum student with industry or have completed EN 131 or completed QTRA 231.
Prerequisites: None
Corequisites: None
Course Learning Outcomes:
Depending upon which province the student is located, upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- apply to write their provincial government examination for the Part B 4th Class Power Engineering examination because they will be eligible; or
- challenge Part A and B provincial government examinations if EN 128 (Part A) and EN 129 (Part B) are complete with Lakeland College– once completed the Part A course the student receives a completion letter to submit to the appropriate government regulatory body to challenge the government Part A exam. Once completed the Part B course the student receives a completion letter to submit to the appropriate government regulatory body to challenge the government Part B exam. Once both exams are completed successfully, and 6 months of steam time is approved by the regulatory body or a 200-hour approved steam lab (QTRA 231) a 4th class power engineering certificate is issued.

Here at Lakeland College, we acknowledge that the land we gather on is the traditional homeland, hunting, and ceremonial gathering places of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit. The Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux people have practiced their culture and languages on Treaty 6 and Métis Region 2 territories for generations and were the original caretakers of this land. Many First Nation, Métis and Inuit peoples call this land home today and have done so for millennia. We would like to acknowledge the history we have created together on this land, and to be thankful for the opportunity to walk together side-by-side in friendship, learning from our past, and promoting positive relationships for the past, present and future.
