Every electrician program in our directory, in one place — 111 schools and training providers across all 10 provinces. Narrow by where you are, what kind of provider (public college, private career college or union), how you want to get in (pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship, college certificate or union), and language of instruction.
Electrician is a provincially regulated trade, so the exact path differs by province — but every route runs through a registered apprenticeship. Use the filters to find the providers that fit, then open any school for its costs, intakes and licensing details.
Current as of October 2026. Program details change — verify with the provider and the provincial apprenticeship authority before applying.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many electrician schools are there in Canada?
Our directory lists 111 electrician schools and training providers across all 10 provinces — public colleges and polytechnics, private career colleges, and union (IBEW) training centres. Use the finder above to filter them by province, type, pathway and language.
What is the difference between the pathways?
Pre-apprenticeship gets you job-ready before you have an employer; apprenticeship is the registered on-the-job plus in-school program that leads to your licence; a college certificate builds fundamentals; and the union pathway places you through an IBEW local. Most provinces offer several — filter by Pathway to see which schools serve each route.
Is electrician a regulated trade everywhere in Canada?
Yes — electrician is a provincially regulated (and in most provinces compulsory) trade, certified through each province’s apprenticeship authority, with Red Seal endorsement supporting mobility between provinces. The specific hours and rules vary by province; open any school or province page for the local details.
