Electricity is a certificate program offered by the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) that trains students to wire and secure buildings in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Coursework covers direct- and alternating-current circuits, single-phase residential wiring, commercial and industrial wiring, lighting systems and controls, electrical heating, and safety topics such as fall protection, confined-space awareness, and arc-flash prevention, working toward the standards used across the Canadian electrical trade. Training takes place in workshops designed to reproduce field conditions and reinforce teamwork, and the program concludes with a workplace stage. It is offered at the Bathurst, Dieppe, and Edmundston campuses. It suits students who are adaptable, physically capable of demanding work, and comfortable with manual tasks, spatial reasoning, and basic technical calculation, and who are interested in a varied work environment that can include working at height or in confined spaces.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows CCNB's Profile B: a New Brunswick high school diploma (regular, modified, or adult programme; PCE/PCR; CESA; PCEA) or GED/CCÉA, with Mathematics 30321A, 30311B, or 30331C. Applicants who do not meet this pathway, whether under or over 21 without standard credentials, may instead pass the CCNB admission test; international applicants need an equivalent secondary diploma plus this test. The curriculum includes English-language courses from A1 to B2, but the page states no separate English test score requirement. As with all CCNB programmes, applicants whose mother tongue is not French, or who have not completed at least three years of French-language secondary schooling or a French-language postsecondary programme, must demonstrate French proficiency through the TFI (minimum score 700), TCF or TEF Canada (level B2), DELF (B2), or DALF (C1).
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick publishes no fixed application opening or closing dates, for either domestic or international applicants, for the autumn or winter session; the selection process begins in November for the following academic year, and complete applications are evaluated on a rolling basis as they are received. Rather than calendar deadlines, CCNB publishes a list, refreshed each cycle, of which programmes currently have admissions open (a 2026-27 list is live, covering Automne 2026), and it recommends applying early because some programmes draw more applications than seats available. Once an offer is made, domestic applicants have 30 days to confirm their place, while international applicants have 21 days. No separate international application deadline exists; the same rolling process applies to international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
