Trades - Apprenticeship in Parts and Warehousing: Apprenticeship at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, Canada is a trades - apprenticeship in Trades programme. The programme runs for 3 weeks, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 500 per total for local students.
This apprenticeship program delivers the in-school technical training for apprentices working toward certification as a Partsperson in British Columbia. It is organized into three sequential levels, each three weeks of classroom-based instruction corresponding to courses APRT 1010 through 1030, run alongside employer-sponsored on-the-job training; the full pathway to certification takes about three years of in-school training together with 5,040 work-based hours. Apprentices need an employer sponsor and must be actively registered with SkilledTradesBC, holding a valid Trade Worker Identification number, before enrolling. After levels one and two, apprentices with sufficient work-based hours become eligible to write the Certificate of Qualification exam; after level three they may write both the level three exam and the Red Seal Parts exam, whose endorsement is recognized across Canada. KPU reports completion of each level to SkilledTradesBC toward the apprentice's designation, and training schedules and waitlists are published through KPU's Registration Application, with further opportunities listed on Trades Training BC. The program suits people already sponsored by an employer in parts and warehousing who are progressing through the standard BC apprenticeship pathway toward Red Seal certification.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires completed KPU Apprentice Registration and an active apprentice registration in the BC Apprenticeship system, plus a valid Trade Worker Identification number from SkilledTradesBC; applicants without one must complete a SkilledTradesBC apprenticeship registration form before enrolling in Levels 1 through 4, and SkilledTradesBC determines eligibility. KPU's own admissions page states that apprenticeship programmes are not subject to KPU's undergraduate or vocational English Proficiency Requirement, so no English test score or high-school English course is required. KPU Tech does not permit students to register in Apprenticeship Levels out of sequence. No further programme-specific admission condition, special equipment or eligibility note is stated on this apprenticeship's own page.
Application Details
Application Deadline:KPU classifies most programs as Open Intake, meaning every applicant who meets minimum institutional requirements is admitted without ranking, while a smaller set of Limited Intake programs closes earlier. For the Fall 2027 (September) term, both domestic and international applications open on 1 October 2026; Limited Intake programs have a firm deadline of 1 March 2027 and may close earlier if demand is high, while Open Intake programs stay open on a rolling basis through a confirmation-deposit deadline of 15 June 2027 to a final cutoff of 1 July 2027. Spring (January) and Summer (May) entry follow the same open/limited pattern on an earlier timeline, and KPU applies identical deadlines to domestic and international applicants throughout. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
