This program provides the technical training component of the Construction Electrician apprenticeship at College of New Caledonia's Prince George campus for apprentices registered with a sponsoring employer through SkilledTradesBC. Training is organized across four sequential in-class levels, delivered on a harmonized national curriculum, with a full year of work-based training hours recommended between levels to combine classroom study with workplace experience. Apprentices learn to assemble, install, test, troubleshoot and repair electrical wiring and control devices such as switches, relays and circuit breaker panels, and to splice, join and connect wires to form circuits, among other core electrical trade skills. Completion of all levels and required work-based hours builds toward Red Seal certification as a Construction Electrician, which enhances job mobility and is recognized nationwide. Admission requires the sponsoring employer to submit an Apprentice and Sponsor Registration Form to SkilledTradesBC on the apprentice's behalf before applying to attend technical training. The program suits people already working as electrical apprentices across sectors such as utilities, construction, manufacturing, mining, and oil and gas, who need to complete the in-class technical training levels required alongside their employer-based work experience to progress toward full Red Seal qualification as an electrician.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this apprenticeship is employer-driven: once an employer has submitted an Apprentice and Sponsor Registration Form to SkilledTradesBC on the applicant's behalf, the apprentice can apply to attend technical training at CNC's Prince George or Quesnel campus. Seats are limited and often wait-listed, so CNC encourages apprentices to apply early and to plan a training schedule with their employer that blends in-class and on-the-job learning, though SkilledTradesBC sets no minimum number of work-based-training hours before technical training. Applications are made through EducationPlannerBC. The page states no academic prerequisites or English-language test scores of its own; CNC directs applicants without the underlying entry requirements to its Academic Upgrading options.
