About Camosun College

Camosun College offers the Electrical Foundation pre-apprenticeship program on southern Vancouver Island, in Victoria.

Victoria, BC's capital, anchors a south-Island market of residential, institutional and government construction.

Admissions: This Electrical Foundation program is a pre-apprenticeship that builds core skills and typically earns first-level credit toward the apprenticeship. Construction Electrician is a compulsory trade in BC (since 2023, SkilledTradesBC), so you still need a sponsoring employer, the remaining levels and work-based hours, and the Red Seal exam. Confirm current tuition, prerequisites and intakes with Camosun College before applying. (Current as of 2026.)
