Apprenticeship Prep | NorQuest College

This program is currently suspended and is not accepting applications.

The Apprenticeship Prep program is designed to prepare you for the trade entrance exam and entry into one of 50+ designated trades. The focus of the program is on upgrading, practical trades training, and facilitated work experience.

The Apprenticeship Prep program gave me the skills I needed to pass the entrance exams and be ready for work in the field. Now, I have a career to build on.
