Geological technology programs in Canada have produced a class of highly-skilled workers whose knowledge base reflects an integral balance between classroom learning and practical skills.
The strong background in the physical sciences will enable students to succeed in an increasingly technical discipline, while the comprehensive introduction to field and laboratory techniques equips students with the practical skills needed to work efficiently in remote and industrial settings. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
- Grade12 English
- Grade11 Mathematics
