".. The practical portion of the OBT3 course provides an excellent opportunity to apply the theory learned in class. Mohawk's "hands on" labs are the strong suit of the program. In my view, they are the most diversely equipped labs of any college I have attended to date. The Stoney Creek Campus has friendly staff and is one of the cleanest college buildings in which I've had regularly scheduled classes. The OBT2 program will provide a solid background in oil-fired appliances for anyone within the residential building inspection field or in the heating fuels sector. "
