Your progression in the apprenticeship program is determined by the assessment from your training provider. If your training provider submits a passing mark (PDF) for you at the completion of your class, you will complete your technical training period and not be required to challenge the AIT theory or practical examinations. The standard for determining a passing mark in technical training will not change.
This exam exemption does not apply to students attending a Pre-Employment, Certificate or Diploma Program. These students will have to write the associated period exam at an AIT office and complete any practical exams as required if they register as an apprentice.
Contact your nearest Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT) office.
In Canada, each province or territory is responsible for apprenticeship training and certification of skilled workers at a journeyperson level.
The Interprovincial Red Seal Program was developed to provide journeypersons with the ability to work anywhere in Canada. The program ensures that journeypersons are qualified through interprovincial examinations that are based on national standards.
AIT will continue to offer in-person Prior Learning Assessment exams at their offices throughout the province. Red Seal exam sessions are available at the end of final period classes. You also have the choice to get certified without writing your Red Seal exam.
If you need information or wish to discuss your apprenticeship, please contact the AIT Information Line at 1-800-248-4823
To obtain the Blue Seal, you must complete the Blue Seal Certification. You can learn more about the Blue Seal Certification by reviewing the AIT website.
