Tradesperson Lookup Tool

Verify whether someone is an Alberta registered apprentice or has a certificate issued by Alberta.

What this tool can tell you:

• Certification:
  • whether the individual holds a journeyperson certificate and/or a Red Seal Endorsement issued in Alberta
  • which trade that the person is certified to work in
• Apprenticeship:
  • whether the individual is a registered apprentice,
  • which trade and period of training they are in

Do not include a middle name; search by first and last name only. 

Search Tips

• AIT ID numbers and certificate numbers can be found on Apprentice ID cards, trade certificates, or wallet cards.
  • View samples of all certificates and cards issued by AIT.
  • AIT staff cannot disclose these numbers (including to a sponsor or employer) without the individual's consent*.
• If no results are found, double check the spelling and numbers.
  • For best results, use Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
• If the individual was certified outside of Alberta:
  • Contact the issuing jurisdiction’s apprenticeship authority to check certification or apprenticeship status.
• Search results may include multiple certificates for the same trade if an individual has requested a replacement certificate.
  • If the individual has a Red Seal, only the most recent certificate will reflect the Red Seal Status.
• This tool will only return results of Alberta-certified individuals and active Alberta apprentices.
  • Individuals whose certificates or contracts of apprenticeship have been cancelled or suspended will not be displayed.
