Looking for advise on getting started - Canada

I'm looking at changing career paths and I am interested in instrumentation as an option.

My local college offers a 34 week Instrumentation and Control Technician certificate program, would this be enough to get started in the industry?

For reference, I live on the East coast, but upon completing the course I would be looking at moving West to try to find work in the oil & gas industry.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
