Gasfitter Apprenticeship (Year 1)

Apprenticeship is a unique form of post-secondary education that blends hands-on work experience with classroom learning. On average, you will spend 80 per cent of your apprenticeship on the job, practicing your trade or profession, and 20 per cent in the classroom or lab through structured learning.    

If you have a valid Alberta Journeyman Certificate, you are eligible to receive a Red Seal credential after completing the necessary requirements.  

During this program you will spend eight weeks on campus every year, and a minimum of 1,560 hours on-the-job training.   

Students must achieve a weighted average of 65% with no section under 50% in both the theory and practical components of the classroom training as well as achieving a minimum grade of 70% on the AIT Provincial Exam for each period of classroom training. 

The term of apprenticeship for a Gasfitter is four years (four 12-month periods) including a minimum of 1560 hours of on-the-job training and eight weeks of classroom instruction each year.
