British Columbia Institute of Technology offers Trades - Apprenticeship in Millwright: Apprenticeship, a trades - apprenticeship in Trades programme in Burnaby, Canada. The programme runs for 7 weeks, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 4,100 per total for local students.
This program delivers the in-school technical training for BCIT's Millwright apprenticeship, spanning four sequential seven-week levels (210 hours and 14 credits each, 56 credits total) for 840 in-school hours overall, alongside a required 6,600 workplace hours over the roughly four-year apprenticeship. Classes run Monday to Friday, 0700-1400, at BCIT's Burnaby campus, with multiple start dates offered each year. Apprentices who have already completed BCIT's Millwright Foundation program receive credit for the first technical training level and can enter directly at Level 2. Enrolment otherwise requires active registration as an apprentice with SkilledTradesBC. Recommended preparation is Grade 10 education or equivalent, including English 10, Math 10, and Science 10, with high school graduation preferred. On completing all four levels, apprentices earn the BC Certificate of Apprenticeship, BC Certificate of Qualification, and the Interprovincial Standard Endorsement (Red Seal), and can also qualify for BCIT's Diploma of Trades Training if they obtain a BC Trades Qualification. The program suits working millwright apprentices who need structured, campus-based technical instruction interspersed with their on-the-job training.

Application Details
Application Deadline:BCIT publishes common credential application dates for most cohort-based diplomas, degrees and Flexible Learning routes, though each program's own page governs: for the January 2027 intake domestic applications run 1 February 2026 to 2 January 2027 and international to 1 November 2026; for the April 2027 intake domestic runs 1 May 2026 to 1 April 2027 and international to 1 February 2027; for September 2027 domestic applications open 1 October 2026 and close 1 September 2027, international 2 July 2027. Openings are 9:00 am and deadlines 11:59 pm Pacific Time, moving to the next business day on a weekend. Admission is not institute-wide rolling, but many programs work first-qualified-first-accepted and can fill before the posted deadline, and several programs, mostly in Health Sciences, trades and graduate studies, run entirely separate application tables of their own. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
