1 Industrial Electrical Apprenticeship Year 3 IELEC3 Trades Training Program Outline PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION DATE: March 2014 OUTLINE EFFECTIVE DATE: January 2017 PROGRAM OUTLINE REVIEW DATE: September 2022 GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This program is Year 3 of the 4 Year British Columbia Industrial Electrical Trades Apprenticeship Program. The program is 10 weeks in length and covers the learning outcomes for year three of the Industrial Electrical trade. An industrial electrician is a skilled individual who must possess fundamental and specialized knowledge and skills related to the installation and maintenance of electrical devices and components found in industrial settings. Industrial electricians inspect, install, troubleshoot, repair and service (includes calibration and preventive/predictive maintenance) electrical equipment such as motors, generators, pumps, heavy duty machines, illumination systems, environmental regulating systems, communication systems, and associated electrical and electronic controls. These trade persons are employed by maintenance departments of factories, plants, mines, shipyards, oil and gas rigs, as well as platforms, and other industrial enterprises. Students will receive Provincial Apprenticeship Curriculum pertinent to the apprenticeship level in which they are enrolled. Upon successful completion of all four levels and appropriate time in the trade, the student may be eligible to write the inter-provincial exam in Industrial Electrical. Program Information: This program is Level 3 of the British Columbia Industrial Electrician Apprenticeship Program. Delivery: This program is delivered through block intake at College of the Rockies, Gold Creek Campus in Cranbrook. Time for this program: 10 weeks Typical Structure of Instructional Hours: Practicum Hours (if applicable): Instructional Activity Duration Type of Practicum Duration Theory-based training (approximately per day) Practical shop floor training (approximately per day) Trades Contact Hours 90% 10% 28 hr/wk On-the-job Experience Formal Work Experience Other Total 1

When the apprentice completes the program, the instructor will report evaluation results to the Industry Training Authority. Students must obtain a mark of 70% overall to pass the program. Students are continually evaluated on practical work in the shop and may request information or update of their performance at any time throughout the length of the program. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: Students are expected to follow all College Policies and Practices as outlined in the program handout package. Regular attendance is encouraged for success in this program. Competency in the techniques and methods necessary to a given trade requires significant supervised practice. Students are expected to follow Policy Vocational Student Withdrawals as a Result of Absence. WorkSafeBC Board regulations apply to all trades programs: students are expected to behave accordingly. Students are required to have safety-toed footwear that must be worn at all times in the shop. Trades programs require that students use and maintain proper eye safety wear and work clothes (coveralls). Safety procedures must be followed while working in the shop area. The tool room attendant is also the first aid attendant for the building. Students may only work in the shop during assigned lab times. If an incident occurs, no matter how minor, report it to the tool room attendant immediately. Dec. 6, 2016 sk H:\OUTLINE\2017_Winter\IELEC3.docx 4
