Next steps

When we get your application form, we:

• will verify your apprenticeship through your previous provincial or territorial office for:
  • work experience hours;
  • in-school training level(s); and
  • exam(s) results.
• may do a prior learning assessment to identify any training gaps. These gaps can happen because of differences with in-school training and regulations; and
• will work with you to develop an individualized apprenticeship plan.

Once these steps are complete, you'll:

• be a registered Yukon apprentice; and
• work towards a Yukon certification and Red Seal endorsement.
