Overview
This 22-week certificate, consisting of 21 weeks of training plus one week of industry experience, is delivered in person at Northlands College's Buffalo Narrows location and meets the requirements for Level One of the Saskatchewan Construction Electrician Apprenticeship Technical Training. Coursework teaches students to layout, assemble, install, test, troubleshoot, and repair electrical wiring, fixtures, control devices, and related equipment, combining classroom instruction with a one-week practicum through a work placement or special projects. Admission requires a Grade 11 or GED/Canadian Adult Education Credential along with specified mathematics and science credits, and selection follows a First Qualified, First Accepted process based on meeting entrance requirements and submitting the required documents. The program suits students in northern Saskatchewan who want a short, focused introduction to the electrical trade as a step toward a construction electrician apprenticeship, without the longer commitment of a full diploma program.
