Not registered as an apprentice?

Ask your employer to register you as an apprentice with SkilledTradesBC. It’s free, simple, and can be completed online or printed and mailed to the SkilledTradesBC Head Office. 

NOTE:  If you have previously applied to our Apprenticeship Program within the last year and now want to register for subsequent levels, please complete the Apprentice Training Registration Form and email it to forms@nic.bc.ca
