| Okanagan College Trades and Apprenticeship and Engineering Technologies offer a two-year Trades Technology Teacher Education (TTTE) Diploma program. This program trains individuals who are on the path to becoming public school trades technology teachers. The TTTE program is the first of three components necessary to receive a Bachelor of Education degree and qualify for a BC Professional Teaching Certificate.
The 66 credit TTTE program covers the general applications of trades technology, including health and safety, tools, and shop equipment. In addition the 6 key trades and technology areas of study are covered: carpentry and joinery, electronics, metal fabrication and machining, industrial design, drafting and design, and automotive technology. These areas correspond with the BC Ministry of Education’s Technology Education Integrated Resource Packages (IRPs) prescribed learning outcomes. The TTTE program also includes six credits of first year English which is necessary to be eligible for admission to the Secondary Teacher Education program, with a Trades Technology specialty at UBC Okanagan. |
