It can be quite an overwhelming chore to search for and select a contractor for a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) or plumbing repair issue, service or an upgrade installation. If you want the peace of mind knowing you’ve chosen a qualified technician for your HVAC or plumbing issue, select one who has been trained and certified through Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training system.
Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training

The organization partners with industry leaders, companies and organizations to provide practical on-the-job apprenticeships and training to system participants. This approach to education and job training benefits the student, employer, the HVAC and plumbing industries and the consumer.
The training that apprentices receive while participating in the Alberta Apprenticeship and Training Industry system involves approximately 80 percent of real-world experience working with skilled tradespeople in the field through established company training providers, and technical training with the training provider.
