A completed Grade 12 transcript, Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) or General Education Development (GED) guarantees entry into apprenticeship in Saskatchewan. However, “modified” or “general” math and science classes don’t meet entry requirements.

It is recommended that students complete high school before registering as apprentices. This helps ensure they’ve achieved the skills necessary to succeed in the apprenticeship program and achieve journeyperson certification.

Clients who do not have the necessary entrance requirements, or need to upgrade various skills during technical training, may be referred to the IXL Learning program by the SATCC’s Assessment Unit.

English is the language of instruction in all apprenticeship programs, and individuals must be permanent residents of Canada (or citizens) to apprentice.
