Program details
Overview
The Electrician Apprenticeship at Northern Lights College delivers the provincial apprenticeship technical training for the electrical trade across four levels, each 300 contact hours over approximately ten weeks. The program builds the knowledge, skills, and technical training employers seek, with training results reported to SkilledTradesBC, and apprentices who complete all levels may be eligible to write the Inter-Provincial (Red Seal) exam. Levels are delivered in person at the Fort St. John campus with multiple start points through the year.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this SkilledTradesBC-registered apprenticeship is governed by SkilledTradesBC eligibility rather than a college-set academic prerequisite; the programme page states only that applicants must meet 'eligibility as indicated by SkilledTradesBC.' No English, French, or other language proficiency score is published for entry. Once enrolled, apprentices must maintain a minimum of 70% in all courses to progress between the programme's four levels. Applicants must supply CSA-approved safety-toe footwear and safety glasses and a computer meeting minimum specifications. Delivered at Fort St. John on a cohort basis: Level 1 begins in September, Level 2 in April, Level 3 in October and January, and Level 4 in September and April.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Northern Lights College uses one admissions calendar for domestic and international applicants alike, applying through EducationPlannerBC or in person. Applications open about eleven months before each intake: 1 October for the following Fall, 1 February for the following Winter, and 1 June for the following Spring. For the 2027 cycle the priority deadline is 30 September 2026 for Winter 2027 entry, 31 January 2027 for Spring 2027 entry, and 31 May 2027 for Fall 2027 entry (dual-credit applicants get until 24 October 2026 and 23 June 2027 respectively), with a tuition deposit due about a month after each priority date. NLC states international applicants already in Canada on a valid visa follow the same domestic deadlines; after the priority date, seats remain open, on a rolling basis, until each term's add/drop date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
