What are some advantages to becoming Red Seal Certified? How do you become certified? What skills do you learn in the Red Seal Industrial Electrician Exam Prep Course? This article covers essential skills needed to succeed as a Red Seal Industrial Electrician and specifically why you should obtain your certification.
Industrial electricians are experts in installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical components in various sectors. Employed by electrical contractors or maintenance departments of various sectors, industrial electricians are responsible for ensuring that all electrical components within the department meet industry requirements. This includes the installation of electrical components, testing and troubleshooting electrical components, and verifying that all mechanical components are current and in compliance with applicable codes within the region.
The Red Seal Certification is your next step to becoming an industry professional. Importantly, this seal stamps your verification on being certified in a certain trade from your province or territory. It indicates that you have demonstrated the skills and knowledge necessary to practice your trade across Canada.
The Red Seal Certification, also known as the Red Seal Endorsement, is confirmation that a tradesperson has the requirements necessary for their trade, based on national standards. Overall, the Red Seal endorsement indicates that you have gone through the necessary training and experience needed to maintain a high quality of trade within Canada and internationally. Consequently, completion of the exam is evidence that you have the experience, skills, and knowledge needed for the industry.
The endorsement promotes excellence to employers and makes skilled workers, who have gone through the necessary training and education to pass the examination, feel proud. It facilitates labour mobility, as the tradesperson can be confirmed through the Provincial or Territorial apprenticeship authorities. By being recognized by employers, opportunities can arise. Many employers will favour candidates who hold the Red Seal Certification over those who don't, allowing holders of the Red Seal to pursue better job opportunities.
Red Seal Endorsed tradesmen need to demonstrate that they possess the necessary knowledge needed to pass the Red Seal Examination. In addition, sufficient experience in the full scope of the trade is required to attempt the exam, in addition to the skills demanded by the trade. With all these requirements, applicants are assured that they will excel in their trade.
