Robotics Training Program Highlights
The Robotics Technician training program introduces the concepts of industrial robots and explains how they can be used in a plant or manufacturing system. Here are the top reasons why students enrol in our program.
Launched in 2008, our Robotics training program offers the full accreditation of one of the largest public community colleges in Canada.
George Brown College is a well established, widely recognized higher educational institution. At GBC students can earn diplomas, post-graduate certificates, industry accreditations, apprenticeships and four year bachelor degrees.
George Brown College has ten program partnership agreements with U.S. colleges and universities. These partnerships enable us to offer these certificate programs to students in their local communities through these fully accredited colleges and universities.
Whether you are seeking initial training for a position working with robotics equipment or looking for training to advance in your current role, GBCs Robotics program can help you acquire the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in the growing field of industrial robotics.
We regularly hear back from many of our Robotics graduates and love to share their stories of career growth with you. Take a moment to read these real stories of GBC Robotics graduates as they describe how their training has impacted their jobs, career paths and lives.
George Brown College offers you a number of easy registration and payment options to make it convenient and affordable for you to register in the Robotics Technician program.
Enrol into the full program up front or register for program modules one at a time, through our Pay-as-you-learn option. Our unique registration options allow for easy instalment-type payments, starting with an initial fee of $490, then registration into each of the remaining 13 modules, at a cost of $90 each.
George Brown College offers you two easy registration options, to make it convenient and affordable for you to register into the Robotics Technician Certificate Program.

One of the most important pieces of our program, that is critical to student`s success, is our technical, tutorial and administrative support. Our approach is to hire really great people, train them on our programs and then make them really easily accessible by our students.
Our students receive tutorial, technical and administrative support from Support Consultants in our Student Support Center. The Support Center is open for extended hours on Monday to Friday, 9 am - 10 pm in the evening and on Saturday & Sunday from 9 am - 5 pm (EST).
Our Support Consultants are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and provide personalized technical and tutorial support by phone or by email. Whichever method works best for our students, works for us and we are always here to help.
We provide dedicated online discussion forums, where students can direct questions to our online tutor, review tutorials on previously discussed or difficult topics and interact with other students to seek assistance or simply exchange ideas or opinions about being a student in the program.
This easy-to-use, computer-based, self-paced program is designed to put you in charge of your technical training. The interactive curriculum, simulation software, student support, and online exams provide a completely flexible learning framework that allows you to learn, study, practice and complete the program on your terms.
The flexible computer-based-training format is designed to fit into your schedule, not ours, so you can work at your own pace to complete the program. We provide you with curriculum and the support but leave the scheduling of studying and exams up to you. Of course, the more time that you put into your studies each week, the faster you finish.
The curriculum contains fourteen modules of theory and 60 lab projects. Each module contains text, animations, mini audio lectures, illustrations, review questions and pre-built lab projects that engage and train with the concepts common to all robots.
The robot simulation software, Robologix (based on the FANUC LR Mate series robots), provides access to a range of industrial robots including Cartesian and SCARA designs and includes various end effectors. Students gain practical, "hands on" programming of an industrial robot through a combination of teach-pendant programming, and 3D animations displaying the robot arm movement. 3D training environments include pick and place, paint, arc welding and spot welding systems, computer networking, automated sorting systems, vision and tactile sensors and computer integration.
Online exams are taken at the end of each module to evaluate a student’s mastery of the program material. Each module exam is timed at 90 minutes, and comprised of 30 multiple choice or short answer questions. They are submitted electronically for grading and results are returned to the student right away.
