Recognized Credentials
Recognized credentials allow professionals to work in Alberta in designated trades without further training or examination. Alberta recognizes certain credentials issued by:
- Canadian provinces or territories
- Jurisdictions outside of Canada
- The Department of National Defence – Canada (DND)
There is no requirement to register with Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT) if you have a recognized credential.
Use the search tool below or refer to the Summary of Recognized Credentials to determine whether a trade credential is recognized in Canada. If you are unable to determine whether or not a credential is recognized, contact your local Apprenticeship and Industry Training office.
Employers who have questions about the authenticity of a credential should contact the jurisdiction that issued the credential. For additional information, see Tips For Employers.

Pure boilermaker certification was issued after this date. |
