What is the Apprenticeship Trade Exemption?
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) has authorized community colleges to administer the Apprenticeship Trade Exemption exams.
If you successfully complete a trade exemption test, you may be exempt from some of the formal, in-class instruction required for your apprenticeship.
