Program Summary

At Selkirk College, we offer the skills and knowledge
you require to successfully complete your Red Seal
Certification, BC certificate of apprenticeship and
your BC Certificate of Qualification.

Selkirk College is endorsed by the BC Industry
Training Authority (ITA) to deliver all four levels of
Construction Electrical Apprenticeship Technical
Training as well as levels 1 and 2 of Industrial
Apprenticeship Technical Training to registered
electrical apprentices (unregistered apprentices are
admitted to levels 1 — 3, space permitting).

Each level of training consists of a full-time, ten-
week, on-campus program of study. Activities include
classroom sessions where as an apprentice you will
learn theoretical principals of electricity and applied
concepts of the Canadian Electrical Code. Laboratory
sessions help to reinforce electrical concepts covered
by the theory classroom component.

Upon successful completion of the Level Four
technical training session, apprentices challenge the
Interprovincial Trade Qualification examination. Those
who pass the exam and complete the work-based
hours earn the BC Certificate of Apprenticeship, the
BC Certificate of Qualification, and the Interprovincial
Standard Red Seal Endorsement.
