Thankfully I’m not just out of high school dealing with this money grab. The power engineering courses unfortunately are mandated by legislation as a requirement for work in the field and SAIT is THE worst at educating. It is a glorified text book with computer quizzes. And for that they charge through the nose. I might as well have gone back to university and taken a degree in Engineering for the price I paid for this time limited course. No text books made available, no answers from a so called instructor, money paid for exams, extortion money for extensions of online courses. Just pure money making by a failing institution. I had better hopes for SAIT. Going to do all my online elsewhere.
Do not go here.

If you want to pay out of your nose to try and learn from instructors who can barely speak english let alone interface with you in figuring things out, this is the school for you. What a worthless program and diploma-mill of an institution. Spend your time and money pursuing things closer to you than the pigeonholes places like this would have you shoved inside.
