How to Apply

TRU Start Programs and Courses

Whether you’re looking to apply to TRU Start Programs or TRU Start Courses, we have a step-by-step guide to walk you through it.

Application process:

  1. Meet with your school’s TNT Coordinator. They will help you discuss options, determine eligibility, and make a plan. We recommend starting this conversation early – Grade 10 for prospective Youth Train in Trades and Grade 11 for prospective TRU Start Course and Program students.
  2. Complete your school district application package and submit to your TNT Coordinator during Grade 11.
  3. Upon approval from your TNT Coordinator, apply online to your chosen program or course through Education Planner BC. The application link will be provided in communications from your school district.
  4. Wait to hear from the TRU Admissions Office through email.
