ACE IT (Accelerated Credit Enrollment to Industry Training) programs provide students with an opportunity to receive their first year of trades technical training before they graduate and tuition-free!
Students can take a Level 1 or Foundation trades program at one of our partnering post-secondary institutions (Camosun or Vancouver Community College).
ACE IT programs are also dual credit, meaning that the student receives credit for the program at the post-secondary institution and their high school. In addition, the tuition for any dual credit course or program is covered by the school district. The student, however, is still responsible for a registration fee, textbooks, and equipment costs.
ACE IT Trades Programs Available:
| Autobody | Cosmetology | Heavy Duty | Metal Fab |
| Automotive | Culinary | Horticulture | Sheet Metal |
| Carpentry | Electrical | Joinery | Welding |
| Refrigeration and A/C | Plumbing and Piping |
