school Education
In general, you usually need a high school diploma. To be a roofer/shingler, you need on-the-job training. You may need trade certification in the province/territory where you'll work. To gain trade certification, you usually need an apprenticeship or a combination of experience and trade courses. Qualified tradespersons in this group may also obtain interprovincial (Red Seal) trade certification, which provides job mobility throughout the country. Many recent entrants have a high school diploma, and almost 1 in 4 has a trade/vocational certificate or community college diploma.
