Although a Grade 10 education is the minimum entry requirement for an electrical apprentice, the level of education required for success in today`s electrical industry is constantly increasing. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that electrical apprentices entering the in-school training program have a minimum equivalent of Grade 12 physics, chemistry, communications and mathematics.
