The engineering training program built for practice, not just theory.
CANETCO, the Canadian Engineering Training Company, has delivered applied professional development for practicing engineers since 1997. Based in Hamilton, Ontario.
What sets us apart
CANETCO does one thing well: applied thermal and mechanical systems training, taught by a practicing P.Eng. with 40+ years of industry and teaching experience. Every course is built around real calculations, real equipment, and real design problems.
Five engineering disciplines. One focused training provider.
The CANETCO engineering training program covers the applied skills that practicing engineers need across five technical areas. Every course combines fundamental theory, practical calculation methods, and real-world application.
HVAC Systems Training
Equipment selection, sizing and design, codes and standards, commissioning, energy optimization, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The complete HVAC knowledge base for engineers and facility managers.
Refrigeration and Chiller Plants
Fundamentals of refrigeration, component selection, system design, piping, refrigerant management, chillers, diagnostics, and energy conservation for industrial and commercial systems.
Industrial Energy Management
Energy saving opportunities in boilers, steam distribution, waste-heat recovery, HVAC, lighting, pumps, and fans. Up to 40% energy cost reduction through systematic analysis.
Piping and Heat Exchangers
Design, sizing, and selection of gas piping, liquid piping, and all major heat exchanger types. Applied fluid mechanics and thermodynamics for practicing engineers.
Mechanical Systems in Buildings
Sustainable design and operation of plumbing, fire protection, illumination, and noise and vibration control systems. Applied training for engineers, architects, owners, and facility managers who deliver high-performance building environments.
Who we have trained
Engineers and technologists from organizations across Canada have completed CANETCO training, including:
Custom training programs
CANETCO also builds custom training programs tailored to the equipment and knowledge gaps of a specific company, institution, or facility. Past programs span petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food processing (Mondelez), telecommunications, and institutional facilities (McMaster University Facility Services).
