At the conclusion of your Electrician, Construction Maintenance apprenticeship, including your job experience training, you'll be eligible to write the exam for your certificate of qualification. Passing this exam will qualify you for a certificate of apprenticeship from the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development, and signify that you are certified in your occupation.
Please note: Centennial College also offers in-school training for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems Mechanic (trade #313A).
