General Information
The OPCA Home Study Course uses a blended learning format that includes:
- A Home Study course
- Online learning tools
- An in-class review/exam session
Participants must register in a Home Study course and allow enough time to complete it before registering for a review/exam session. Each course takes approximately 35–40 hours, depending on individual study habits. This estimate covers theoretical training only.
Participants are responsible for arranging their practical experience with a licensed petroleum mechanic. Students can begin logging practical experience and hours once they obtain PMH certification.

PMH is the pre-requisite for PM1, PM2, and PM3. Students must hold a valid PMH licence to register for PM1, PM2, or PM3 classes.
Online Learning Tools
