“The Interprovincial Standards “Red Seal” Program defines an apprenticeship as “An agreement between a person (an apprentice) who wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker — “earning while learning.” Apprenticeship is a proven industry-based learning system that combines on-the-job experience with technical training to produce a certified journeyperson. Upon completion of the specified training period, apprentices receive a Certificate of Qualification. On average, 85% of the apprentice’s two to five years of training is spent in the workplace; the rest is spent at a training institution.”

Apprentices who have obtained status as a certified journeyperson in their Province or Territory are able to obtain a “Red Seal” endorsement on their Certificates of Qualifications by successfully completing an Inter-Provincial Standards Examination and by having the correct amount of documented work-based hours for that trade.
