What the labels mean
- Public college: A publicly funded college that delivers approved in-school apprenticeship training.
- Union training centre: Training run by a union or a joint apprenticeship committee, usually for members and registered apprentices in that trade.
- Private career college: A licensed private school offering approved training. Fees are usually higher than at a public college, so compare before you commit.
- Pre-apprenticeship program: A government-funded introduction to a trade. It is not credit-bearing apprenticeship training, and finishing one does not by itself make you a registered apprentice.
