No experience but interested in training for a trade? Then this is the program for you!

This program is ideal for those looking for a career or a career change and you do not need to be employed or indentured as an apprentice.

Red Deer College has certificate programs that provide you with apprenticeship training, including additional hands-on practice and employability skills. This program prepares you to enter the workforce as an apprentice and will make you more marketable when competing for entry level employment in the trades. After successful completion of this program, you will challenge the Alberta Apprenticeship Industry Training exams for each period of technical training that you complete.

This 24-week certificate includes two periods of apprenticeship training plus additional hands-on skills and trade specific safety training.
