Apprenticeship Registration Information and Form

Apprenticeship is paid work-based training combined with post-secondary education. An apprentice spends approximately 80% of their time learning their skills on the job (under the direction of a highly skilled journeyperson) and approximately 20% of their time learning in a classroom setting.

While Apprenticeship programs can range from one to five years in length most, however, are four years. When an apprentice finishes their program, they are required to write a completion exam in order to receive their Certificate. Once they have received their certificate they become known as a journeyperson and will earn the full journeyperson wage.
