To graduate from each level of the apprenticeship program, an apprentice must successfully complete the required technical training and compile enough on-the-job experience to total at least 1500 hours each year.

When all requirements for journeyperson certification have been met, an apprentice will receive a Completion of Apprenticeship Certificate and a Journeyperson Certificate of Qualification.

All applicants must be registered with the Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission. Interprovincial “Red Seal” certification is available in this trade.
