Program details
Overview
This is the in-school technical training component of the harmonized Truck and Transport Mechanic apprenticeship, delivered at Camosun's Interurban campus for sponsored apprentices registered with SkilledTradesBC. Training is organized into four levels, each ranging from about four to ten weeks depending on the level, 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 completing all four levels qualifies the apprentice for Red Seal certification as a Truck and Transport Mechanic. Camosun supports the Red Seal interprovincial trades program, and standards and curriculum for the trade are set by SkilledTradesBC. This pathway suits people who already have a registered employer sponsoring their apprenticeship contract and need to complete the classroom theory portion required alongside their practical, on-the-job training, rather than someone seeking an entry-level foundation program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Camosun accepts applications to its motor vehicle trades apprenticeship programmes, including the Truck and Transport Mechanic apprenticeship, on a year-round basis rather than through a fixed intake cycle. Entry is not based on secondary-school courses, grades, or a minimum GPA: an applicant must already have a registered employer willing to sponsor and train them, and must hold a valid SkilledTradesBC registration number. Where an applicant and an employer agree to enter an apprenticeship contract, either party can contact SkilledTradesBC to have the apprentice registered; Camosun directs applicants to SkilledTradesBC's own registration steps to complete this. The programme page states no standardized English-language proficiency test score, portfolio, interview, or other non-academic admission condition beyond employer sponsorship and SkilledTradesBC registration; sponsorship and registration status are verified through SkilledTradesBC rather than through Camosun's own application review.
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.
