overview
A domestic/commercial gasfitter installs, tests, maintains and repairs
propane and/or natural gas lines, appliances, equipment and accessories
in residential and commercial premises. Gasfitter apprentices must have
mechanical aptitude, manual dexterity, and the ability to read and
understand complex instructions and to do careful and exacting work.
They must be good with numbers and have sufficient physical strength
and stamina to lift heavy materials and stand for long periods. The
apprenticeship process requires time spent training on the job and in
the classroom. A gasfitter apprentice must complete a two-year program
including 3,360 workplace hours and 360 in-school hours of training.
After completion of training and achievement of a passing grade on the
B Gasfitter exam administered by the B.C. Safety Authority, a B.C.
Certificate of Apprenticeship will be awarded.
