Receiving Recognition for an Expired Out-of-Province Trade Credential
Trade credentials issued by other provinces and territories must be recognized in Alberta in order to obtain credit for AIT programs in Alberta.
An expired, out-of-province trade credential is eligible for recognition towards:
- a trade designated in Alberta,
- the Trades Qualifier Program, or
- the Achievement in Business Competencies (Blue Seal).
Trade credentials from other jurisdictions are verified by AIT in order to reduce or prevent the use of counterfeit credentials when applying for AIT programs, and to ensure that anyone practicing a trade designated in Alberta meets the provincial standards for the trade.
