Entry Level Trades
Training (ELTT) programs are offered by BC's public colleges and institutes.
They provide students with basic theoretical and practical knowledge in
various trades, whether as pre-employment or pre-apprenticeship training.
Most programs involve formal, institution-based instruction lasting three
to 12 months.
Various programs are
offered through the post-secondary training system (e.g., automotive,
service technician, carpenter, heavy duty mechanic, electrician). For
more detailed information about which programs are offered in your region,
contact your local college or BCIT.
If you know what training area you are interested in, you may search for
