Apprenticeship

What is apprenticeship?

Apprenticeship is a unique post-secondary training opportunity to earn while you learn. It is a combination of 20 percent in-school training and 80 percent on-the-job work experience under the supervision of a journeyperson.

It is a partnership between industry, educational institutions, and government. PEI has 58 designated trades. Being designated allows workers to become certified in a trade through apprenticeship training and/or certification.

If the designated trade is certified compulsory, you are required to be a registered apprentice or have a Certificate of Qualification to legally work in that trade in PEI.

The following PEI trades are certified compulsory:

• Automotive Service Technician
• Construction Electrician
• Plumber  
• Steamfitter / Pipefitter
