What is the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Examination?
As of October, 2004 there were 45 designated Red Seal occupations. Newfoundland provides training in 37 of these occupations. For these 37 occupations, apprentices attempt an interprovincial examination and, if successful, receive a distinctive Red Seal which is affixed to their Certificate of Qualification. The interprovincial examination is developed by a group of trade experts from all jurisdictions where an occupation is designated.
