ohh wow u congrats i ll give a medal for knowing proper abreviation LOL dude the Alberta Trade apprenticehsip training is intense hands on theory training, and once an apprentice gets his Journeyman staus / Redseal he is consider a professional in his field of training basically we work 10months out of the year and go to school for 8weeks of technical training for 4 years until we get out Journeyman Ticket, all the instructors chosen to teach this training have to have at least two trade tickets, and are the selected out of all the Top TECHS in Canada, One of my intructors has his Auto / Diesel Heavy Duty Journeyman / Redseal tickets, and a TON of Chevrolet specialty training course's on top of that he is in the states as we speak attending a High Performance specialty course, basically our training gets makes us Licensed and gives us the practical training to work on vehicles not just learning off of trail and error and experience.

basically in Canada they dont hire any ol guy off the street with some mechanical experience and let him work on vehicles, if they do then he would be called a 1st year apprentice doing oil changes, tires, brakes, ETC. until he or she completes theres first year (8weeks of technical Training) u must have the technical training to work in a shop around here and specialty courses also which dealerships provide i will have my Journeyman / Redseal staus within the next year $$$$$$

ya i totally i agree with you, and not to offend anyone at all, but all i was trying to explain was how the Trade system works in Alberta to get into mechanics u have to willing and able to learn and work, so basically you find a shop thats willing to hire you on as an 1st year apprentice mechanic experience helps, then you work for about 8 to 10 months depending, then after you have gotten a totall of 1500 working hours in the shop they entitle you to go and attend your first year of technical training if you pass you get a promotion to 2nd year and you get a raise, you continue to do this until you 4th year, so ya most of the stuff we learn is from practical experience in the shop, but our 8 weeks of training we do every year is very intense if anyone has more questions feel free to ask
