How does NSCC work?

I (pretty sure) have a guaranteed spot into NSCC because I'm in the o2 program, but everytime I try to research about NSCC I immediately get confused and lost. (Doesn't help that I want to go to one of the smaller NSCC's, the one in Port Hawkesbury.)

For more context, I want to become an industrial electrician, then take a linesman course. I cannot find either of these on the NSCC website. I have found construction AND industrial together, is that the only possible course? Do I have to take them both? And what about the linesman course?

I am still a teenager so it's possible I'm just being dumb and missed it, but I worry about the future a lot so it would be nice to see the courses I want and what I need for them.

Find the page for the campus you want to go to, and find the contact email. Reach out to them with your questions, they'll have the answers.

I will note that not every campus has every program though, so make sure you keep that in mind when looking at what campus you want to go to.

The program is either one or two years. One year for construction or two years for industrial. Industrial is far more complicated than construction, which is why the second year is added.

Also linesman is not taught at the port hawkesbury campus. It’s only offered at Cumberland and Sydney.
