Who is eligible to enroll in our course? 

• Individuals with at least five years of experience as a Drywall Finisher and Plasterer, regardless of the country they gained their experience, are welcome to pursue their skilled trades license and work in Canada. Given Canada's significant shortage of skilled tradespersons in the labor market, the country enthusiastically encourages foreign-trained individuals to join the workforce. The only requirement is to pass a multiple-choice skilled trades license writing exam in Canada. The passing mark for the exam is 70%, and our comprehensive red seal skilled trades license exam preparation course equips you with everything you need to succeed.

• Moreover, individuals who have completed an apprenticeship, which typically consists of approximately five years of on-the-job training (about 90% of the apprenticeship) and some in-school training (about 10% of the apprenticeship), are eligible to enroll. An apprenticeship is a mutually beneficial training agreement between someone seeking to learn a skilled trade and an employer in need of a skilled worker. Throughout the apprenticeship, individuals earn at least minimum wage while honing their skills and knowledge to become qualified tradespersons or journeypersons. Upon completion, apprentices receive a Certificate of Apprenticeship, a highly sought-after proof of training and experience often required by employers.

• Additionally, individuals with training and experience from other Canadian provinces or territories, or from other countries that meet the apprenticeship requirements in Ontario, can also assess their eligibility to take the exam in Canada.

• Regardless of your background, our course is designed to support your journey toward obtaining a skilled trades license and pursuing a rewarding career in Canada.
