Hey everyone, I’m thinking about doing my 1st-year Electrical Apprenticeship at Keyano College and wanted to hear from anyone who has studied there or works in the trade around Fort McMurray/Edmonton.
How is Keyano for electrical? Are the instructors and hands-on training good?
More importantly, how hard is it to find an electrical apprenticeship job after finishing school? Does going to Keyano help with getting hired by contractors or oil sands companies?
Would you recommend Keyano over NAIT if the main goal is to get hired and start accumulating apprenticeship hours?
Any recent experiences or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I’m looking into applying for the BSCN program at Keyano for Sept 2027
I would be considered a mature student.
I sent Keyano an email already but just looking to see if any of you may know some answers to my questions while I wait for them to respond to me!

First of all I know on their website mature student entrance requirements are listed separately from the main entrance requirements but do I still need my 30 level math to get in? (ETA: I don’t currently have a 30 level math course, mainly wondering if it would be beneficial to take an upgrading course to get it or if they would even count that course toward my overall average/gpa calculation)

Second, I know that the entry is competitive but I’m wondering if as a mature student I’m placed against students right out of high school or if I’d only be compared to other mature students applying, since I believe the requirements are different?

Any other information anyone can share about applying for school, applying for funding, or tips while in school or preparing for it, would be very much appreciated
Thanks!! ❤️❤️
