Electrician - Industrial

Apprenticeship Training

Program Description

These programs are offered to indentured industrial electrical apprentices. Industrial electrical apprentices are required to attend technical training ten weeks per year over a four year period.

Electrical First Year-
Electrical Second Year -
Electrical Third Year-
Electrical Fourth Year -

This new apprenticeship program requires that apprentices complete:

a set of Core knowledge competency standards of technical training and,
complete a set of Core workplace competency standards for each level of the apprenticeship.

The apprentice will have to provide evidence to a certified assessor to prove competence for the the core workplace competency standards. The completion of competency standards will be tracked by the use of a logbook provided for the apprentice and maintained by the apprentice for all four levels of the apprenticeship.

NOTE: Due to the fact that the fourth year’s material is intensive and demands a full agenda, a review exam of basic theory that was covered in the first three years will be given on the first day of this course and will be woth 5% of the total mark. This will require each student to review his or her former training material in order to be ready for the 4th year level.
