CHRP Employment Law Exam & CHRL Employment Law Exam

HRPA’s exams are currently delivered by Prometric via computer-based testing and this partnership was expanded in August 2020 to include online delivery through a secure remote proctoring system – ProProctor. As the situation with COVID-19 remains fluid, HRPA will continue with the dual-modality delivery model until the end of 2021. If you are planning to write either the CHRP Employment Law Exam (CHRP-ELE) or the CHRL Employment Law Exam (CHRL-ELE), you have the choice of writing the exam remotely via an online delivery module, or – if you prefer and test centres in your area are open – in person. New: HRPA will be introducing structural changes to the CHRP and CHRL Employment Law Exams for 2021. What this means is that the Employment Law Exams will be divided into 2 content sections. The structural changes are as follows: CHRP Employment Law Exam (CHRP -ELE)CHRL Employment Law Exam (CHRL -ELE)Exam Content Section 1: 1 hour and 45 minsExam Content Section 1: 1 hour and 45 mins1 optional 15 min break1 optional 15 min breakExam Content Section 2: 1 hour and 45 minsExam Content Section 2: 1 hour and 45 minsTotal: 3.5 hours to complete 110 questionsTotal: 3.5 hours to complete 110 questionsBreaks: You will be permitted one 15 - minute optional break which we encourage you to take after you have completed and submitted Exam Section 1 and before you start Exam Section 2. Breaks are not permitted during Exam Section 1 or Exam Section 2. Please note: There are no changes to content, format, method of delivery, level of difficulty or the eligibility requirements. Registration for the CHRP or CHRL Employment Law Exam involves a simple three-step process:

  1. Establish your eligibility with HRPA; eligibility means being an active registrant who is approved for the Public Register and who has past either the CHRP Knowledge Exam or the CHRL Knowledge Exam (*If you have not met the eligibility requirement you will not be permitted to register for the exam)

  2. Register and make payment for the exam with HRPA.

  3. Schedule your date, time and location directly on Prometric’s website. You will be given the option of either scheduling your exam at a test centre or through remote proctoring.

It reminds me of how detailed and intense legal cases can be, similar to the work an aggressive family law attorney puts into a high-conflict divorce. Success in these exams, much like in legal battles, depends on mastering the finer points and understanding how to apply the law strategically. My advice? Don’t just memorize—understand the reasoning behind each principle, and make sure you're ready to tackle real-world scenarios. This approach will help you excel, just like a well-prepared attorney in court.

The Red Seal Program, formally known as the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program, is a program that sets common standards to assess skills across Canada. Industry is heavily involved in developing the national standard for each trade. It is a partnership between the federal government and provinces and territories, which are responsible for training and trade certification in their jurisdictions.

Students who have successfully passed the Red Seal examination receive a Red Seal endorsement on their provincial/territorial trade certificate. The Red Seal, when affixed to a provincial or territorial trade certificate, indicates that a person has demonstrated the knowledge required for the national standard in that trade. The Red Seal endorsement promotes excellence to employers, instills pride in skilled workers, and facilitates labour mobility. Certification and Red Seal endorsement of a tradesperson can be confirmed with the provincial or territorial apprenticeship authority that issued the Red Seal.​

Who Administers the Program?

Provinces and territories are responsible for apprenticeship training and trade certification in their respective jurisdictions, including the administration of the Red Seal Program in their jurisdictions (for example, Red Seal examinations). Most provinces and territories use the Red Seal examination as the final certification exam in designated Red Seal trades. The Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) is responsible for the Red Seal Program. All provinces and territories and the federal government participate as members of the CCDA.

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) sponsors a Secretariat to provide strategic and secretariat support to the CCDA and the Red Seal program.


Red Seal Endorsement Seal and Proud Supporter Logo

The Red Seal Endorsement is a seal that is affixed to a provincial or territorial certificate of qualification and indicates that an individual has successfully passed the Interprovincial Red Seal examination and has the knowledge required by their trade’s Red Seal Occupational Standard.

The Red Seal Endorsement indicates only that a tradesperson has passed the Red Seal Exam for a trade. It does not indicate that a person is certified by a province or territory to carry on any trade.  If you are looking to verify a tradesperson’s certification, or if you would like to request permission to use the Red Seal Endorsement, please contact your provincial or territorial apprenticeship authority.

Show Your Support!

The Red Seal Proud Supporter logos are an excellent way to demonstrate your support for the Red Seal Program.

If you would like to show your support, you are hereby granted permission to use for display purposes the two logos available for download below.  The logos must be used as provided, without modification.  By downloading either or both logos, you agree to these terms.

A Red Seal endorsement is a seal on your provincial or territorial trade certificate. It shows that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to practice your trade across Canada.

To get the Red Seal endorsement, you need to pass the Red Seal exam.

Red Seal Endorsement (RSE) Acronym

In 2015, the Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) announced the official recognition of the “RSE” acronym (Red Seal Endorsement) for qualified skilled journeypersons.

The CCDA believes that an officially recognized acronym for skilled trades professionals provides qualified individuals with a way to easily reflect that they have passed the Red Seal examination for their trade, while at the same time promoting the Red Seal Program. The RSE acronym is used by journeypersons who have obtained a Red Seal endorsement on their provincial or territorial trade certificate. Anyone holding a valid Red Seal endorsement may use RSE on their business cards and signatures (e.g. John or Jane Doe, RSE).

The Red Seal Endorsement acronym should only be used by journeypersons who have obtained a Red Seal endorsement on their provincial or territorial trade certificate by successfully completing a Red Seal examination. Any individual who makes use of the RSE acronym should have a trade certificate with the Red Seal endorsement available for verification purposes.

Building, creating, fixing, mastering—and getting paid to do it. Sound good to you? A career in the skilled trades is engaging and fulfilling. The opportunities are vast, the future demand is strong, and the rewards are great. There has never been a better time to get into the trades.

What is a skilled trade?

A skilled trade is an occupation that requires a particular skillset, knowledge base or ability. You see the evidence of skilled trades every day—when you walk into a building, drive down the road, go to a restaurant, or simply turn on a light.  

When people think of skilled trades, there’s a few that immediately come to mind—Plumber, Carpenter, Electrician—but the trades are much more extensive, with nearly 100 to choose from. Everything from Crane Operators to Hairstylists, Locksmiths to Arborists, and much more.

APPRENTICESHIP?

An apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and classroom learning that leads to a trade credential, such as a Certificate of Qualification (CoQ) or Red Seal. It lets you put your brain and body to work doing something you love. It’s a chance to sharpen your skills, get better at your craft, and turn ideas into things you can see, smell, taste, and touch.  

Paid training, a satisfying, hands-on career, flexibility—these are just a few of the great reasons to consider a career in the skilled trades. 

Red Seal Exam Preparation: Pathway to Professional Excellence

The Red Seal Exam is a pivotal step for tradespeople aiming to earn their Red Seal endorsement in Canada, representing a standard of excellence in the skilled trades. The Red Seal Program offers a Certificate of Qualification that is recognized across all provinces and territories, allowing for greater mobility and acknowledgment of skills within the Canadian labor market. This blog post aims to guide you through the process of Red Seal Exam Preparation, addressing common questions, strategies, and resources to ensure you are well-prepared for this challenging but rewarding certification.

Understanding Red Seal Exam Preparation

Red Seal Exam Preparation involves a comprehensive study and review process tailored to the specific trade you are pursuing, whether it be a Red Seal Millwright Exam, Red Seal Electrician Exam, or any other trade under the Red Seal Program. The preparation process focuses on both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to pass the exam and achieve the Red Seal endorsement.

Common Uses of Red Seal Exam Preparation

  • Certification: The primary goal is to prepare candidates to successfully pass the Red Seal Exam and obtain their Certificate of Qualification.

  • Skill Enhancement: To reinforce and expand upon the skills and knowledge acquired during apprenticeship training or previous work experience.

  • Career Advancement: Achieving Red Seal endorsement can lead to better job opportunities, higher wages, and greater mobility across Canada.

Best Ways to Understand Red Seal Exam Preparation

  • Official Study Materials: Utilize study guides and materials provided by the Red Seal Program, which are specifically designed to cover the exam content.

  • Practical Experience: Hands-on experience in your trade is invaluable. Apply real-world scenarios to theoretical knowledge.

  • Mock Exams: Practice with Red Seal Exam Questions and take full-length mock exams to familiarize yourself with the format and time constraints.

Common Approaches to Red Seal Exam Preparation

  • Structured Study Plan: Create a study schedule that covers all topics in the exam outline, allocating more time to areas where you are less confident.

  • Group Study and Mentorship: Study with peers or seek guidance from experienced tradespeople who have already passed the Red Seal Exam.

  • Continuous Review: Regularly review all materials and practice questions, focusing on areas of difficulty to improve understanding and retention.

 

Common Mistakes or Misunderstandings

  • Underestimating the Exam: The Red Seal Exam is comprehensive and requires a thorough understanding of your trade. Do not underestimate its difficulty.

  • Neglecting Practical Skills: While theoretical knowledge is crucial, neglecting the practical application of skills can be detrimental.

  • Relying Solely on Experience: Over-reliance on personal experience without studying the broader scope of the trade can lead to gaps in knowledge.

Good Web Resources for Studying Red Seal Exam Preparation
