    Students must be registered with the Industry Training Authority (ITA) and have received an Apprentice Identification number and a Trade Worker Identification number (TWID). To determine whether you qualify for apprenticeship training see www.itabc.ca.

    New apprentices who have successfully completed an ITA approved training program can apply to the Industry Training Centre for credit towards the work based and technical training requirements of their apprenticeship. Often, successful completion of a trades program or pre-apprentice program significantly reduces the work based and/or training hours required for the trade.
