Program Description

The Process Plant Technology certificate program is offered through a collaborative agreement with Bismarck State College’ Energy Technology Department and Turtle Mountain Community Colleges. The program prepares students for all aspects of operating refineries, ethanol plants, process plants and related industrial facilities. Students gain the skills and technical background needed for entry-level employment as process operators. Students learn the technical and safety aspect of plant operations, the responsibilities of plant operators, and the mechanical and chemical technology needed for working in related industrial operations.

Most employers want process technicians who have associate degrees in applied science or a related area.
