Yukon University's Oil Burner Mechanic Pre-Apprenticeship program is a 20-week, on-campus certificate that prepares students for entry-level work servicing oil-fired heating units, with a pathway toward a Red Seal endorsement in the trade. Instruction combines trade theory with hands-on shop practice using power tools, safety training, and the mathematics applied to oil-burner mechanics. Students who complete the program with an overall average of at least 70 percent become eligible for technical credit toward further apprenticeship training. Entry requires the equivalent of Math 10 and English 10, along with good physical condition, hand-eye coordination, and appropriate work attire, including steel-toed shoes. The certificate functions as a short, practical stepping stone into a registered oil burner mechanic apprenticeship rather than a stand-alone academic credential, and leads to a Yukon University certificate on completion.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires Math 10 or equivalent and English 10 or equivalent. Applicants must also be in good physical condition, show good hand-eye coordination, and supply their own suitable work clothes, including steel-toed work shoes. The programme page states no separate international language-test scores for this trades certificate; Yukon University's general policy requires every applicant to demonstrate English language proficiency, but no specific test tier is published for pre-apprenticeship certificates. The program is not currently accepting new applications.
