Program Objectives

Selkirk College, in cooperation with the Industry Training Authority, offers Carpentry Technical Training for all four levels required for apprenticeship. Each level consists of a six week program that meets 30 hours per week.

The apprenticeship process requires time spent on the job supplemented by in-school training. A carpentry apprentice must complete a four-year program including 6,480 workplace hours and 720 in-school hours of training completed in four levels, each for six weeks. After completion and achievement of a passing grade, the apprentice will hold the BC Certificate of Apprenticeship, BC Certificate of Qualification, and the Interprovincial Standard Endorsement also known as Red Seal.
