Hello everyone!

For people who have done practicum especially MLA, how stressful was it? Would you say it's something that is doable with 8 - 9 months pregnancy? Just looking to see if it's something that someone who has gone through would advice doing.

Thank you!

Has anyone heard back from SAIT about the PSEA and CASPer testing yet for the MRT program? I know I’ve met all the requirements and they have gotten my transcripts but I haven’t heard yet about me being able to take the PSEA

Does this mean this class happens twice a week?

i applied for open studies spring term but i wrote in my study plan application that ill be starting winter, will the school let me switch start dates or should i just suck it up and find a way to change my study plan? I dont want dis to hinder my chances of getting in🥲🥲

Hey guys, so I have been contemplating applying for this but I realized it’s almost been a week since the applications first opened, if I apply right now would I still have a shot at securing a spot or not? I didn’t take physics in hs unfortunately and so as a very last backup I was planning to take this and then apply to Sonography for the following year, but I don’t want to waste $120 if my chances of getting offered is low since I heard this is FCFS. Thanks to whoever can answer this!!

I’ve just applied to DMS and MRT, and I want to prepare for the CASPer and PSEA.

I want to know what sort of questions I shouldexpect and what resources I could use to study!

(Such as what websites I could use or like for the PSEA what exactly do I need to review)

Hi Everyone! I'm working on a business project for my SAIT capstone course, and I'd really appreciate your help 🙏
 
If you have a parent or grandparent who is 65 or older could you take this quick 3-minute survey? It's about getting help with technology (phones, video calls, online banking, appointments) and everyday errands.

Hi everyone!

I've been accepted into SAIT's two-year Electrical Trade and Technology (ETT) program, but I'm also considering Electrical Engineering Technology (EET).

My long-term goal is to work in industrial electrical, controls, or automation. I'd really appreciate some honest opinions, especially from SAIT students, graduates, or electricians.

1. Co-op: I read that international students aren't eligible for the optional co-op. Is that correct? Are there other ways to gain work experience during the program?

2. PGWP: Since becoming a journeyperson electrician typically takes around four years, would a three-year PGWP be enough after graduation? Would I realistically need to obtain PR or an employer-sponsored work permit before it expires?

3. Exams: SAIT says ETT students can take all four period exams and the Red Seal exams. Is it realistic to pass them through the program alone, without much field experience?

4. Apprenticeship: Does completing ETT reduce the required apprenticeship hours or help graduates start at a higher apprentice level or wage? Or would I essentially start from scratch?

5. Training quality: How good is the ETT curriculum? Is it more comprehensive than regular apprenticeship schooling? How much hands-on training is included?

6. ETT vs EET: Which two-year program do you honestly think offers better long-term career value, job opportunities, and earning potential?

One important thing to consider: Unlike Canadian students who can enter an apprenticeship directly, my realistic path (to become an electrician) as an international student is to complete a two-year program, obtain a PGWP, and then start working.

So, given that I'd need to invest two years in school either way, would you recommend ETT or EET?

I'd really appreciate your honest thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student from South Korea planning to start the Electrical Engineering Technology diploma at SAIT in September 2027. I'd love some honest input from current students and grads:

1. Is EET still a good choice for an international student right now?

2. How hard is the coursework?

3. How easy is it to find a job after graduating?

4. Has anyone actually gotten PR after this program? How long did it take?

Thanks in advance!

So I’m trying to get into Primary Care Paramedic at SAIT around Fall of 2027 next year and I’m about to start my EMR course in a few days, but Im just confused on when I should do my PSEA exam for the course. Is it smarter to apply to the program first and then take the exam? Or do I have to take the exam right now while I’m doing my EMR course.

i was planning to apply for archi. technologist at SAIT, but im not sure if its the right fit for me. What trait do i need to have to enjoy/succeed in this career path? Also seeing the program is on waitlist for January. Can someone give me insights on how this career is like for them right now? Or if ur still completing the program, hows the course work? Does it involve a lot of presentation.. i kind of struggle with that kind of thing and how are the instructors? Hows the job search? Income? is it oversaturated?

I was looking at the engineering diplomas that SAIT offered and this one stood out as having a 97% employment rate and a starting salary of $78,000. This feels a little... too good to be true. It is a two year program, and I already meet the requirements to enroll. I was wondering the experiences that other students have had with this program, and if they were able to get work. Thanks!

I’m considering applying to these courses in the future and I wanted to do some research into the careers and aspects of each program. If you have taken any of these programs or know people who have, help a homie out.

- I love Bio and Chem but advanced Math makes me nervous. Realistically how demanding is the program?

- What are good sources/courses that I could potentially look into before applying? (especially for all these entrance exams)

-What is the Job Market like? In 5 years?

- Flexibility of your job- Location wise and schedule wise?

- What is something about this career that you hate/dread? (Trying to figure out despite it am I able to keep working in this field?)

Thanks and have a great day!

Hi there, I was added to a discord server for MRT :) I think I was deleted because I just went on my app and I’m no longer a part of it or a part of any server. 🥲

I have some questions

I’m looking to do academic upgrading from home, can I do it with a different institution online and will NAIT accept that?? Please let me know,

I’m looking to get into MRT for September 2027, and I’m currently working on completing the courses that are needed as as well as as academic upgrading. I have a full-time job and I just wanna know if I can do academic upgrading with another institution because I’ve noticed that with NAIT I need to do it in class by the looks of things online.

I am going to call them on Tuesday though

Any comments would be helpful thank you 💖💖💖

If you applied for fall 2027. Did you notice the disclaimer where they would consider highest math grades first for 2027/2028. It was never like this in the previous classes/years but it was first come first serve. Am I cooked if my 30-2 mark just meets the prerequisite lol?

Anybody still getting errors when applying? I filled out everything and when I get to the review page it says "we have detected the following errors with your application. Those errors must be corrected before submisson." It's telling me that I need to sleectvmy country of citizenship to continue and I already did. I've literally clicked Canada and canadian citizenship multiple times and nothings changed. Anyone know how to fix this or will I just have to wait or try again?

can anybody tell me how the admission system works and roughly what the acceptance percentage is?? I'm currently applying to mechanical engineering tech and power engineering tech and I've seen conflicting info on the internet on whether sait's acceptance percentage is 95% or 58%

Hi everyone!

I'm considering SAIT's Information Technology Services (ITS) diploma as an international student and would appreciate insights from current students or recent graduates.

I have around three years of B2B sales experience in the CCTV/NVR industry outside Canada including working with system integrators and customer requirements. I'm hoping to build stronger technical skills and eventually move into roles such as systems implementation, cloud support, or solutions engineering.

I'd especially appreciate insights into the following:

1. Co-op and job market

• For recent ITS cohorts, how competitive has the co-op search been in practice? Have you noticed a meaningful difference between students who secure placements and those who don't?
• Among graduates you've personally known, what has the transition into full-time IT employment in Alberta looked like, particularly for international students without previous Canadian IT experience?

2. Course quality and practical preparation

• Do you feel the labs and projects reflect what employers actually expect from junior IT candidates, or is there a noticeable gap between the curriculum and workplace requirements?
• Are there particular technical skills you found yourself needing to develop independently to become competitive for internships or entry-level roles?

3. Career progression

• Have you seen graduates move beyond help desk or general IT support into cloud, systems implementation, or solutions engineering? What seemed to make the biggest difference in those transitions?
• Given the increasing use of AI and automation, do you think the program provides a strong enough technical foundation for long-term career growth, rather than just preparing students for routine support tasks?

4. Looking back

• If you were choosing a program again today, would you still choose ITS, or would you consider a different program or school? What would influence your decision?

I'm particularly interested in honest, experience-based feedback rather than general program descriptions.
Thanks in advance for sharing your perspective!!!!!

I applied for PCP on October 8th and i’m trying to gauge out how much time i have to prep before they email me to take my tests. Another reason I ask is i’m going on vacation on Nov. 20 and im not sure if they’ll ask me to do it during or before that date, which gives me a lot of anxiety.

I've heard a lot of people talk about having SAIT as a safety and then transferring into uofc eng later is this a valid backup route to take or not?

has/is anyone doing this program? i really want to do hands on camera work, editing, directing, and cinematography. is it worth it?

Hi everyone,

I looking to find any resources to get prepares for MRT PSEA test. If someone done there test before I will appreciate their assistance.

Thank you
