The term of apprenticeship is 4 years (four 12-month periods) that include a minimum of 1,800 hours of on-the-job training each year. Classroom instruction provided by the Canadian Elevator Industry Educational Program (CEIEP) is the only training presently delivered.
Apprentices must find suitable employers who are willing to hire and train apprentices.
Elevator constructors from other provinces and territories can work in Alberta if they hold a certificate or license recognized by Alberta. For more information, see the Recognized Trade Certificates page of the Tradesecrets website.
