The Trades Access program prepares students for entry into trades related programs. Students will gain a foundation in physical science and have the opportunity to improve their skills in communications and technical mathematics. This is a twenty to twenty-six week program when the four core courses are delivered. The program can be lengthened by offering other appropriate electives. These additional electives will enhance the program and may provide students with the necessary skills to challenge the St. John’s Ambulance Standard First Aid Certificate, train for a class five driver’s license or take the Trades Entrance Exam.
