EPIC Educational Program Innovations Center, or EPIC, has been a leading provider of innovative training solutions in the Engineering Industry for over 30 years. Founded by Dr. Hira Ahuja, EPIC was originally focused on offering educational services and support for internationally educated professionals (IEPs). Since then, they have evolved to deliver a wide range of online and on-site courses designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of technical professionals across various engineering disciplines. Now on its 3rd generation, this family-owned business is headed by Dr. Ahuja’s grandson, Tim Chugh, who is dedicated to continuing the growth and success of the business.
As a leading provider, EPIC strives to empower engineers and technical professionals to enhance their skills and advance their careers through high-quality, innovative, accessible training solutions that promote knowledge sharing and community connection. Their programs cultivate well-rounded, forward-thinking engineers, equipping them to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry and preparing them to take on some of the world’s biggest challenges.
Offering a comprehensive course catalogue that caters to the needs of engineers, technicians, and technologists, these courses cover various engineering fields, including chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, industrial, mechanical, and municipal engineering. The courses are designed to help professionals stay current with industry standards, improve their technical skills, and advance their careers. Offering a variety of topics in both English and French, participants can earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs) to maintain their engineering licenses and certifications.
One of EPIC’s key strengths is its commitment to providing high-quality, instructor-led training. The courses are taught by experienced instructors who bring real-world expertise and practical insights. This ensures that participants not only learn theoretical concepts but also gain hands-on experience that they can apply in their professional roles. EPIC’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its partnerships with industry-leading organizations and its adherence to rigorous quality standards. The company is authorized by the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) as a provider of CEUs, ensuring that its courses meet the highest standards of quality and relevance.
EPIC’s product offering includes online public courses that provide the flexibility to learn from the comfort of one’s home or office and online and on-site group training opportunities that allow organizations to bring customized training programs directly to their teams. They also continue to honour Dr. Ahuja’s vision by providing the same support for IEPs through their Technical Exam Preparation courses. These programs are designed to help participants build the knowledge and skills required to pass their exams and achieve their career goals.
