KPU - Electrical

The Electrical program is offered at Howe Sound Secondary in partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU). Upon graduating from the program, students will earn their Level 1 technical training credits. Classes are held Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 3:15 pm and are taught by Mr. Chris Weaver, a Red Seal Electrician.

The program has a strict attendance policy, and students are expected to arrive on time and be ready to work every day. Instruction is divided between classroom study and shop work. All students must provide their own CSA-approved steel-toed boots.
