Once apprentices have completed the required schooling and work experience, they may write the Carpentry Certificate of Qualification examination through the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities. A provincial C of Q and inter-provincial or âRed-Sealâ certificate will be granted to those scoring over 70%.
While you don't necessarily need a formal education to become a carpenter, many complete a two-year technical degree program. Much of the learning experience comes through a hands-on apprenticeship, where you spend more than 2,000 hours with a master carpenter in technical and on-the-job training. Carpenter pay varies based on experience, location and employment type.
