I took HVAC-R Co-op program, currently employed.
There was a non co-op program, out of the 16, 8 graduated. (note non co-op was 3 months longer)
Out of the 16 guys that started the program 12 finished.
8/12 found a job before the program ended (pay varies for 1st year 12-18$/hr)
4/12 are jobless 2 weeks past

Teachers are wicked, guys in class are super friendly and not your highschool drama queens.
Would reccomend the program, dont do shit last minute, program is REALLY INTENSE, i have 2 buddies in electrical and from what it looks like my program packed in 3 months worth of electrical in 1 month of hvac, lastly have no life for a few months, IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

Thinking of taking UBC SFU? from what iv seen is bcit graduates have a MUCH higher job rate, oh also the fact that most of the trades are 6months-1year long and you have a job?
Go ahead and go to UBC for 2-5years to get your major and then not be able to find a job. Not to mention be in dept from school fees much more than any bcit student.
