Assiniboine College

About Assiniboine College

Assiniboine College delivers the electrician apprenticeship technical training — four levels — in Brandon, serving western Manitoba.

Brandon is Manitoba's second city and the hub of the Westman region, with an agricultural and industrial employer base.

Admissions: Manitoba electrician is a compulsory, designated trade: you register an apprenticeship with Apprenticeship Manitoba through a sponsoring employer, complete four levels of technical training at an institution like Assiniboine College plus on-the-job hours (about 7,200), and pass the exams for your Certificate of Qualification (Red Seal). Manitoba also requires a separate provincial electrician's licence to work — a two-step process after certification.
