Red River College Polytechnic

About Red River College Polytechnic

Red River College Polytechnic is Manitoba's largest polytechnic, delivering electrician training in Winnipeg toward the province's compulsory electrical trade.

RRC Polytech's campuses sit in Winnipeg, Manitoba's capital and by far its largest construction and industrial market.

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 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 in the trade — a two-step process after certification. Confirm the specific program, prerequisites and intakes with RRC Polytech before applying. (Current as of 2026.)
