Apprenticeship training combines paid, work-based training (about 80% of training), with technical training in a classroom or shop setting (about 20% of training). Successful completion of both components, along with examinations, is required to earn a certificate or ticket, and become a certified tradesperson. In school technical training typically ranges from four to 10 weeks per year depending on the trade and takes approximately four years on average to complete.
