International Application Process
As a tradesperson, there are five steps to apply to have your skills assessed in order to be allowed to challenge the Journeyperson exam.
STEP 1
Apply for Assessment by completing the Trade Qualifier application through your MyATC account. For further 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 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].
STEP 2
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.
STEP 3
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.
STEP 4
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 Certificate of Qualification. It is only the results of the assessment.
STEP 5
Apply for Examination: Once approved, apply to challenge the Journeyperson exam. You will register for your exam through your MyATC account.

👏 A huge congratulations to Jordan Kerr, Outstanding New journeyperson award for Refrigeration & AC Mechanic!
Jordan's journey into the trades began with projects at home alongside his dad, sparking an interest that grew into a passion during high school construction classes. Reflecting on this achievement, Jordan shares, 'I am incredibly honored and humbled. This award represents years of hard work and dedication. 'I want to thank my wife Mickaela, my parents and extended family, Mason Resch, Steve Blehm, all the Journeypersons I've worked with, and every instructor who guided me along the way.'
For those starting out in the trades, Jordan offers this advice: 'Don’t give up and always go above and beyond. Early in my career, there were tough days when I wanted to quit, but the support of those around me kept me going. Now, I couldn’t be happier with where I’ve ended up.'
Your dedication and perseverance are truly inspiring, Jordan. Here's to your continued success!
