**Students demonstrating current completion of these certifications may be exempt from these fees.

There are no additional costs for parking or field trips.

Students are responsible for the purchase of five required textbooks prior to the program start date (approximately $150.00 total). A list of required textbooks will be provided upon acceptance into the program.

Students are also responsible for the purchase of hand tools, protective clothing and safety gear including CSA-approved steel toed boots, secateurs, rain gear, and gloves. The cost of these items will be approximately $250.00 to $300.00. Information on tools and gear needed, as well as available student discounts, will be provided in the first week of the program.

Please note: Students are eligible to apply for StudentAidBC funding.
