The Power Lab 200 Hour Course will help you acquire your 4^th Class Power Engineering Certification if you have completed your Part A and B theory courses, but do not have the six-month stream experience needed to become certified. The course is offered as an interactive training lab.

Once you have successfully completed the course, you will be eligible to write the Alberta Boilers Safety Association (ABSA) 4A and 4B exams to become certified. If you have already completed the exams, you will need to submit your AB66 form to ABSA. Your steam chief will give you this form when you complete the course.
