If this is your first time applying, we'll ask you some questions to confirm your legal name and provide your Alberta Student Number (ASN).

Select your program, then follow the guided application process to complete all mandatory fields to tell us about your education history, sponsor/employer, and work history.  

If you have a sponsor, after you submit the apprentice portion of the application, they will receive an email to confirm their sponsorship.

• Your sponsor also has the option to pay your $35 application fee for you at this stage.
• Make sure the email address you provide is connected to their Alberta.ca account, or they will not be able to confirm.

• If you are applying without a sponsor, you can proceed right to payment.

If your sponsor does not pay your application fee when they confirm their sponsorship, you’ll get an email letting you know that your application is ready for payment.

• If you don’t have a sponsor, you’ll receive this as soon as you complete your portion of the application.
• Click the link in the email to pay the $35 non-refundable application fee online using VISA, Mastercard, AMEX, Visa Debit, or Debit Mastercard via a convenient, safe, secure, password-protected source.
  • If you prefer, you can visit an AIT Office to pay in person via credit or debit card.
