Total Number of Individuals Certified

  • Individuals issued more than one certificate in 2012 are counted here only once. ** Indicates that some, not all, branches of this trade have a Red Seal designation. N/A = Not Applicable. Note 1: This number includes the number of Interprovincial Red Seals Issued to Completed Apprentices and Trainees in 2012 regardless of the year the apprentices or trainees completed their training. Note 2: A Qualification Certificate is a certificate issued to individuals who, through an assessment of their prior work experience, knowledge and skills in a designated trade, demonstrate they meet the standards set for certification in Alberta. Note 3: Equivalency documents were issued to individuals who hold a valid trade or occupational certificate to indicate that the person holds a specific certificate and is permitted to work in a particular trade, or branch of a trade, or that the person holds a specific certificate that is recognized as equivalent to an occupational certificate in a named occupation. Equivalency documents are not issued to individuals who hold a certificate that bears an Interprovincial Standards Red Seal. Ten of the 20 individuals who received Equivalency documents for the automotive service technician trade also received Equivalency documents for the heavy equipment technician trade. Note 4: ‘Other Red Seals Issued’ includes red seals issued to individuals other than those who have completed an Alberta apprenticeship or occupational training program. The number includes red seals issued to individuals who were certified through Alberta’s Qualification Certificate Program or occupation training and certification program (without completing a trainee program) and to individuals who successfully completed the interprovincial examination in Alberta rather than in the jurisdiction in which they were originally certified.
