Trades - Apprenticeship in Instrumentation & Control Technician Apprenticeship

The Instrumentation & Control Technician Apprenticeship at Northwestern Polytechnic trains registered apprentices to install, maintain, calibrate, and repair the measuring and control devices used in industrial and commercial processing, including sensors, transmitters, controllers, and control loops, and to read and apply process flow and instrumentation diagrams on site. The program combines employer-sponsored on-the-job training with four blocks of in-class technical instruction delivered on campus in Grande Prairie: the first two periods each run eight weeks, and the third and fourth periods each run ten weeks. Apprentices alternate periods of paid workplace employment with classroom instruction, progressing through all four technical periods and the required on-the-job hours before qualifying for Alberta's Instrumentation & Control Technician journeyperson certification through Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training.
