Program details
Overview
This is the in-school technical training component of the harmonized Sprinkler Fitter apprenticeship, delivered at Camosun's Interurban campus for sponsored apprentices registered with SkilledTradesBC. Training is organized into three levels of eight weeks each, taken about once a year between periods of paid, employer-supervised on-the-job work that makes up around 80 percent of an apprentice's time. Each level ends with a SkilledTradesBC exam, and program outlines for the trade are set by SkilledTradesBC. Camosun supports the Red Seal interprovincial trades program across its pipe trades offerings. This pathway suits people who already have a registered employer sponsoring their apprenticeship contract in sprinkler fitting and need to complete the classroom theory portion required alongside their practical, on-the-job training toward their sprinkler fitter qualification, rather than someone new to the trade seeking an entry-level foundation program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Sprinkler Fitter: Apprenticeship at Camosun is a SkilledTradesBC sponsored apprenticeship, and the programme page sets no separate academic grade, English-language, or portfolio requirement of its own. To apply, an applicant needs a registered employer who will sponsor and train them and a valid SkilledTradesBC registration number; the apprentice must be sponsored by an employer who is itself registered with SkilledTradesBC, and either party can contact SkilledTradesBC to register the apprenticeship contract. Camosun's page links out to SkilledTradesBC's own program outline for this trade rather than restating course-level entry criteria. Enquiries about a specific technical-training intake are directed to the Trades Apprenticeship Office.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC for Camosun's open-enrolment programmes: for Fall 2027 (September) applications open 1 October 2026 with an early deadline of 15 May 2027 for priority registration and a late deadline of 26 August 2027; Winter 2027 (January) runs 15 September 2026 to 7 January 2027, and Summer 2027 (May) 15 January 2027 to 29 April 2027. Limited-enrolment programmes publish only an opening date and can close once the waitlist exceeds the seats on offer. International applicants must submit a complete application by 1 June (Fall), 1 October (Winter) or 1 February (Summer), though later applications are still reviewed while seats remain, making admission effectively rolling for both groups once the early deadlines pass. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
