​

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. 

​
