Trades - Apprenticeship in Electrician: Apprenticeship - Harmonized

This program covers the in-school technical-training component of the Red Seal electrician apprenticeship for students already sponsored by a SkilledTradesBC-registered employer. It is organized into four levels of full-time, in-person classroom instruction at the Campbell River campus, each level running ten weeks, with the full sequence normally completed over about four years or more depending on the apprentice's schedule; multiple intakes are offered across fall, winter and spring terms through 2028. As in other harmonized apprenticeships, training combines these classroom levels with on-the-job experience, split roughly 80 percent worksite practice under a certified tradesperson and 20 percent in-class instruction. Course content addresses the installation, maintenance and repair of residential, commercial and industrial electrical systems, building toward the technical and practical skills tested for Interprovincial Red Seal designation. The program is limited to domestic applicants who are already working in and sponsored for the trade, rather than students seeking initial entry. It suits apprentice electricians progressing level by level through their technical training while accumulating the paid workplace hours required for full Red Seal certification.
