The Assiniboine Community College Parkland campus will be offering a new program in 2021.
Applications for the new six-month Applied Electrical Installation certificate program are now being accepted.
There’ll be practical and theory components to the electrical certificate program.
Those in the program will learn about residential wiring systems and safety, including safe work procedures, electrical code, and blueprint reading.
Grant Lawford, Chair of Construction Trades at Assiniboine, says students’ safety and wiring skills will be put to practice in their simulation condos.
The first five months of the program will focus on theory and practical learning that’s followed with an industry practicum, for a total of 740 hours.
Completing the program gives graduates entry-level skills in the electrical trade and they’ll meet the Level 1 electrical apprenticeship in-school technical training requirements.
Graduates of this new program will also have the opportunity to build careers and further their apprenticeship training with electrical contractors and construction companies, in maintenance departments or with public utilities.
Tuition, fees, and Students’ Association fees total about $3,450 and the estimated costs for books and supplies is $1,730.
