Are you registered as an Apprentice?

Did you know that most provinces in Canada use the formal Apprenticeship Model for training Appliance Service Technicians? In most provinces the Appliance Service Technician Trade is considered voluntary. This means that you do not have to have a formal license to practice the trade.

For this reason many students go through schooling or company led training without ever registering as an apprentice. Although you may not be required to register in some provinces there are many benefits for both the student and the employer for doing so ! Many financial grants and company tax breaks are available in many provinces.
