Yukon Tradesperson Qualification Program

This program provides trades certification, and in most cases Interprovincial Standards recognition, for trades workers in occupations designated in Yukon. The program is available to individuals who have gained the required trade experience, but have not been able to access certification through a formal apprenticeship program.  It also provides to those individuals who hold trades certification from other jurisdictions in Canada or other countries an avenue to gain Yukon certification.

Application Process

Applicants must submit completed application forms accompanied by verification of work experience in the trade and any applicable training and qualification certificates. Requirements for the various occupations are outlined in the specific trade regulation schedule.
