Trades, Apprenticeship and Technical

All NIC training programs follow the criteria set by SkilledTradesBC to ensure your trade qualifications meet current industry standards. From foundation through apprenticeship levels, NIC’s expert faculty will guide you on your journey to your Red Seal.

Foundation

Foundation programs combine apprenticeship Level 1 with theory, knowledge and skills needed for entry into a trade, without needing an employer sponsor.

Apprenticeship Levels

Apprenticeship levels are the in-class portion of your apprenticeship training, following the criteria set by SkilledTradesBC, as you work toward your Interprovincial (Red Seal) ticket.

NIC Alumni Say

 


The student-to-instructor ratio is low, so you get a lot of hands-on time and time to ask questions and really delve into the materials. I would definitely recommend coming to NIC.
