Overview
Selkirk College is endorsed by the BC Industry Training Authority to deliver all four levels of Carpentry Apprenticeship Technical Training to registered carpentry apprentices.
Each level of training consists of a full-time (30 hours per week), seven-week, on-campus program of study. Activities include classroom sessions where as an apprentice you will learn theoretical principles of carpentry, and shop sessions where knowledge is put to use in the mastery of practical skills.

All of Selkirk's Carpentry Apprenticeship classes are now taught the Harmonized curriculum. For an explanation of why Carpentry is being Harmonized in BC please see the Industry Training Authority.
