What You Need

Each discipline (plumbing, gas, electrical, and others) has different education, work experience, competency, and technical requirements. Further, there are levels of certification within each discipline.

Working in Alberta

Safety codes officers who are certified by and in good standing with a regulatory body elsewhere in Canada may be eligible for certification in Alberta if their scope of practice and competencies are similar.
