Apprenticeship Training
Accreditation Accredited programs are recognized across Canada as having met national academic standards. If you are planning to work elsewhere in Canada, a diploma from a nationally accredited program will ensure that you receive full credit for your training regardless of where you settle.
Apprenticeship training begins after you finish your program at Holland College and are working full-time with a suitable employer. When you are working with a suitable employer, you will register as an apprentice, and Apprenticeship PEI will give you credit for the hours earned and block exams passed while you were at Holland College. Each trade has a certain number of hours that an apprentice must complete before he or she can take block training and move to up to the next level. Once you have completed the required number of blocks and worked the required number of hours for your trade, you can earn your Interprovincial Red Seal by completing an exam. An Interprovincial Red Seal, which is the mark of excellence for your chosen trade and the designation most employers will ask for, gives you the ability to work anywhere in Canada. The most successful path to an Interprovincial Red Seal begins with a full-time Holland College program. For more information about apprenticeship training in P.E.I., visit apprenticeship.pe.ca. This information pertains to P.E.I. only. For apprenticeship in other provinces, visit the apprenticeship branch of the provincial government for that province.
