International Trade Qualifier Application Process

Learn how to apply as an international applicant to have your skills assessed to challenge the journeyperson certification exam.

All information can be found through your MyATC account.

Apply for Assessment

Complete the Trade Qualifier application through your MyATC account. For help with the Trade Qualifier application, visit the MyATC Knowledge Centre. In the application, provide evidence of your trade experience with the appropriate Form 6A for your trade. Pay the fees as noted.

If you are applying to challenge the certification exam in a compulsory trade (Construction Electrician, Plumber, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic, Sheet Metal Worker and Sprinkler Fitter), please contact the Assessment Unit at [email protected].

Evidence Requirements

Supply credentials and transcripts, employer letters, and self-employment information (e.g. Business License) in your Trade Qualifier application though MyATC. You will need these prior to submitting your application.

Verification process

The SATCC Assessment Unit completes the assessment process. Verification of hours, dates and tasks performed will be completed for each employer Form 6A submitted.

Applicants in the compulsory trades must provide credentials and transcripts along with the Form 6A and employer letters. There are five compulsory trades in Saskatchewan: Construction Electrician, Plumber, Sheet Metal Worker, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic, and Sprinkler Fitter.

Results Letter:

The SATCC Assessment Unit sends the applicant a letter with the results.

The results will indicate one of three outcomes – approved to challenge the exam, not approved to challenge the exam, or more information needed.
NOTE: The results letter is not a journeyperson certificate. It is only the results of the assessment.
