This 350-hour program is available in full-time and part-time formats to support working professionals in industrial electrical environments. Delivered through instructor-led, theory-focused training, the course aligns with the Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS) for Industrial Electricians and prepares candidates to confidently challenge the Red Seal exam.
Industrial Electricians are skilled trades professionals responsible for installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing electrical and electronic systems used in industrial facilities such as manufacturing plants, processing facilities, utilities, and large-scale operations. Their work is essential to maintaining safe, efficient, and continuous production processes.
Industrial Electricians interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, control drawings, and technical documentation to plan installations and diagnose system issues. They apply advanced knowledge of electrical theory, automation, control systems, and industrial equipment to ensure machinery and electrical systems operate correctly and safely. Precision, analytical skills, and adherence to strict safety protocols are critical in industrial environments.
In addition to electrical installation and maintenance, Industrial Electricians work extensively with motors, motor controls, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), variable frequency drives (VFDs), and instrumentation systems. They perform testing, calibration, and troubleshooting tasks to minimize downtime and maintain operational efficiency.
Red Seal–certified Industrial Electricians demonstrate nationally recognized competence in industrial electrical theory and trade practices, allowing them to work across Canada without additional provincial certification. This certification reflects a high level of technical expertise, safety awareness, and readiness to meet national occupational standards in industrial settings.
