For holders of a recognized trade credential

If you were previously certified outside Alberta and your certificate is recognized in Alberta, you do not require an Alberta certificate. If you wish to have an Alberta document that proves to Alberta employers that you are permitted to work in Alberta, the Equivalency Program is an option for you.

For designated occupations

Alberta is involved in the certification and/or training in nine designated occupations.

For trade and occupation committees

You can stay active in Alberta’s apprenticeship system by joining a committee in your trade or occupation following certification.
