Under Alberta’s Apprenticeship and Industry Training Act [pdf] and Gasfitter Trade Regulation [pdf], you must have a certificate that is recognized by Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training or be a registered apprentice to work on natural gas and propane equipment in Alberta.
Terms of apprenticeship vary for each branch of the trade, ranging from 2 to 3 years (12-month periods). Each year includes a minimum of 1,560 hours of on-the-job training and 8 weeks of technical training.
Apprentices must find suitable employers who are willing to hire and train apprentices, and successfully complete technical training examinations.
Gasfitters from other provinces and territories can work in Alberta if they hold a certificate or license recognized by the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board. For more information, see the Recognized Trade Certificates page of the Tradesecrets website.
