Welcome New Apprentices
REGISTER
To be eligible to register as an apprentice, you must be employed in the trade and a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You and your employer submit the following to the SATCC to register as an apprentice:
- Apprenticeship Application on MyATC
- Form 6As – Trade-specific Verification of Trade Experience are found in the Forms library and the Designated Trades pages.
- Request High School or Adult 12 Transcripts
- Request Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC), General Education Diploma (GED) or Adult Basic Education (ABE) transcripts
- Please refer to the Fee Schedule.
- Incomplete applications will be withdrawn after 60 calendar days if required documentation is not received.
TRAINING
As an apprentice, you will spend approximately 85% of your time working on the job, learning the knowledge and skills associated with a trade from a certified journeyperson. The remaining time is spent in theoretical and technical in-school training, which reinforces and expands upon what you have learned on the job.
It is your responsibility to:
- self-register for technical training in MyATC when you’ve met the required number of hours for your trade
- submit your trade time experience through MyATC every few months
- advise the SATCC if you:
- Move and change addresses; or
- change employers. When you change employers, you must complete a change of employer application on MyATC.
