With hands-on apprenticeship training at BCIT, you can offset tuition and related fees because you’re learning while you’re working.
Please note: Each year BC post-secondary institutions may raise tuition by 2 per cent. In April each year, BCIT posts the new rates that take effect on August 1. If you pay your tuition prior to April using the old rates, you are required to pay the difference within 10 business days from the start of your program.
Apprenticeship program fees include Student Association, BCIT ID card, Student Services and building fees. For details, download our apprentice tuition schedule.
Note: Total tuition cost listed in the apprentice tuition schedule does not include the U-Pass BC fee. The U-Pass BC fee of $30.00 per month will be charged upon registration and is a mandatory fee.
Note: If your employer is sponsoring your training costs, have your employer contact BCIT Apprentice Services.
Tuition is due, in full, 60 days before the start of your program. You can pay for your training using one of the following methods:
| Cancellation notice received: | Refund: |
|---|---|
| Up to 41 days prior to the start of class | Tuition fee minus $200* |
| 40-21 days prior to the start of class | 50% of tuition fee |
| 20-10 days prior to the start of class | 25% of tuition fee |
| 9 days or less prior to the start of class | No refund |
*Note: $200 commitment fee is non-transferable and non-refundable.
