This comprehensive 24 week Foundation (Pre-apprenticeship) program covers the required learning outcomes for Level 1 of the Four Year Electrical and Industrial Electrician Apprenticeship Program. The program includes classroom theory, practical hands-on experience in a state of the art electrical lab and shop setting.

An Electrician is a person who installs, constructs, alters, repairs, maintains, commissions, tests, services, calibrates and operates related electrical and electronic systems in any premise, place, building or structure. They ensure that all electrical connections are safe and meet the Canadian Electrical Code. Electricity is used for a variety of purposes including climate control, security and communications, and therefore, electricians need to be proficient in many applications of electricity.
