Accredited Pre-Apprenticeship/Pre-Employment Trade Programs

The Apprenticeship Branch recognizes trades-related courses or programs of study offered by other training institutions, colleges and high schools. Students who take accredited courses can, within a specified time period, apply their course credits towards the technical training requirements of full-time apprenticeship training.

Schools that offer accredited programs have met Apprenticeship standards that include program content, facilities, equipment and quality of instruction. To ensure that training is current and continually updated, an institution's Certificate of Accreditation is valid for a three-year period. Then an application for accreditation must be resubmitted. For more information about getting your program/courses accredited, see section on Apprenticeship in your school

Note: The listing below is current as of April 2008. To confirm that your institutions’ program is presently accredited, please contact the Apprenticeship Branch.

For a listing of other Manitoba high schools with vocational or technical trades contact the Vocational Teachers' Association of Manitoba or Private Vocational Institutions.
