The Technology Foundations Certificate program will provide a pathway for applicants who are interested in pursuing a career in one of the many technological programs currently offered at Centennial College. 

Students will develop a thorough understanding of the personal, academic and professional requirements (communication, mathematical, technical, computer and science skills) that will prepare them to enter into specific diploma and advanced diploma programs in the School of Engineering Technology & Applied Science (SETAS).

Completion of this Technology Foundations Certificate can help you meet the academic requirements for engineering technology and applied science programs at Centennial.  It may also provide you with exemptions for certain courses in other School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science programs, depending upon the grade level achieved. 

The Technology Foundations certificate program is geared towards applicants who, for whatever reason, do not meet the regular entrance requirements for the programs within the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science.  This unique program is a great opportunity for these individuals to gain the necessary skills to enable them to succeed in a post-secondary program.

This is an engineering success program that provides students, with appropriate grades, an opportunity to obtain a minimum of three transfer credits which can be used for further study with the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science.

Centennial College expects students applying for admission to certificate or diploma programs to present at minimum an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or be 19 years of age or older.  Possession of minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program.

For those applicants looking to enrol in any of the SETAS programs offered at the Morningside campus (a.k.a. HP Science & Technology Centre), you will be attending your Technology Foundations classes there as well.  This applies to the following program areas:

Similarly, for those applicants looking to enrol into any of the SETAS programs offered at Centennial's Progress campus, you will be required to attend your Technology Foundations classes at the Progress campus as well.  This applies to the following program areas:
