Blue Seal Program Overview
The Achievement in Business Competencies – Blue Seal Program is common to Saskatchewan and Alberta. The Blue Seal Program is designed to meet three goals:
- encourage continuous learning after achieving journeyperson certification;
- encourage journeypersons to gain business skills; and
- encourage entrepreneurship.
The Blue Seal demonstrates that a journeyperson has successfully achieved a reasonable level of business education and knowledge of various business subject areas. The advantage of earning your Blue Seal is that you will develop valuable business and management knowledge to further your career in the skilled trades.
To receive the Blue Seal certificate, you must have earned a journeyperson certificate in a trade designated in Saskatchewan, and provide proof of completion of either:
- an approved program of training resulting in a diploma or certificate (Option 1); or
- completion of at least 150 credit hours in approved areas of study (Option 2).
An applicant must supply a copy of their journeyperson certificate and all transcripts and certificates for the business courses. Submit these with the general inquiry/request through MyATC and pay the required fee.

Meet Wesley Rowe, Skills Canada Saskatchewan competitor in Plumbing! 🔧
Inspired by his dad’s career, Wesley found his passion in the trade and never looked back. While most of his learning came on the job, training at Sask Polytech taught him key techniques like offset and 45° angle calculations, which played a big role during competition.
"The hardest part was figuring out all the angles, but once you slow down and draw it out, it comes together."
Now working toward his journeyperson certification, Wesley says competing isn’t about winning or losing—it’s about connection, learning new techniques, and growing in a trade where everyone has different strengths. 🙌
