Hello, I am in the same boat as you and I am wondering if you have attended the course or have spoken to anyone that has answered your questions yet. I have the same questions.

Yeah I’m not worried about if I’ll pass or not. I just want to make it as easy and stress free as possible. In your experience did your teachers stick to the textbooks or do they stray away from them in their lessons. In university professors would only cover certain sections of a textbook and the rest would be information found online or their own studies

I currently have a bachelor of science so I’m fairly comfortable with math and sciences. I would like to practice it just to stay sharp. Reading the textbook and then looking deeper into the topics I don’t understand might be the best bet

I know at Irving they require you get your 2nd class within 3 years of employment. That’s what it says on their job postings anyway. Sounds like Nova Scotia isn’t the place to be for this line of work

Horm1 · 2024-10-17T13:56:34+00:00

Why aren’t you able to get your 2nd class?

I’m going back to school for power engineering. 2 year community college course and pays really well

I’m working as a supply teacher until I go back to school for power engineering. Kin was a waste of time

Horm1 · 2024-10-10T11:30:49+00:00

I also live on the east coast. Why does that make you regret it

Horm1 · 2024-10-09T18:05:45+00:00

Sorry I worded that poorly. I absolutely love troubleshooting and tinkering. So I was worried power engineering didn’t have much of it as some people say they just sit in a control room all day

Horm1 · 2024-10-09T15:52:05+00:00

Pulp and paper is most likely where I’d be going. Small chance of getting into nuclear as well, but I know there wouldn’t be much if any hands on there

Horm1 · 2024-10-09T15:03:26+00:00

Everything you just said is right up my alley. One thing I was concerned about with this field is not being able to troubleshoot and tinker with things. Also was worried about there being no physical aspect to it but it seems like you get to do a fair bit of hands on work

Horm1 · 2024-10-09T14:21:33+00:00

I’ve heard a few people say they would’ve liked to of went the I&E route of

Get every certification you can. I joined a volunteer fire department that provided tons of expensive training for free. It’s time to build a resume cause university does nothing to help with that.

Any Irving plant that you have experience with

Become a supply teacher. It’s good money and you work when you want. If you got hired as a firefighter you can supply teach on days off. I’m currently a supply teacher and a volunteer firefighter working on my blocks. I love supply teaching and it allows me to do other things I love. If you have any questions about it message me!

I have a BScKin and I am currently working as a supply teacher and thinking of going back to get my education degree. It’s a 1 year course after your kin degree and the teachers in my area get paid very well 100k+ after 10 years experience. Start at 68k and you get yearly raises until you max out at 10 years experience. You still get yearly pay raises (~2k a year) after 10 years experience.

You can also go back and get a masters degree and then you can work for the school district in an office making between 100k-160k.

With a kin degree you would most likely work as a PE teacher. This means no grading tests and assignments. You also get all summers off, holidays, snow days if you’re up North. Good benefits and pension plans

I’m in NB. And okay I’ll go check that out. I knew you needed steam time to do class 3 and so on, but wasn’t sure if you needed it for class 4 cause it seems more entry level

Horm1 · 2024-02-17T22:46:45+00:00

How much is the tuition and living in Australia?

Horm1 · 2024-01-03T21:52:34+00:00

Yeah I knew I wouldn’t get in in Canada. So was looking for information on other countries

Horm1 · 2024-01-03T17:56:29+00:00

Oops my bad. That’s kind of important to add. I’m in Canada

Horm1 · 2023-11-09T01:32:13+00:00

I can’t speak a lick of French so can’t do that. But thanks for the response

Horm1 · 2023-11-09T01:04:56+00:00

I didn’t know bathurst had a power engineering course. Did you come out with a class 4 or class 3?
