* Program currently under implementation phase.<br />
In order to complete a training program, the apprentice is required to complete both in-school and workbased<br />
training unless the in-school/technical training requirement is met through an approved alternative<br />
training model (e.g., distance education, part-time) and/or level challenge exams where these options are<br />
available. An inter-provincial Red Seal Examination is also required for the 19 Red Seal Accredited<br />
Programs.<br />
The programs commonly require trainees to complete 12 to 24 weeks of training in-school. The technical<br />
training content is usually divided into 2 to 4 levels and, while most programs can be completed in 2 to 4<br />
years, trainees have to successfully pass the practical assessments (where required) and written level<br />
examinations before he or she proceeds to the next level.
