Blue Seal Certification

The Achievement in Business Competencies Program, also known as the Blue Seal Program was established by the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board to encourage and recognize business training.  If you are a certified Alberta journeyperson in a designated trade or occupation, earning a Blue Seal proves that you not only meet Alberta's high  industry standards, but you also have the drive to develop your business skills and succeed in business.   If you have a valid Alberta Journeyman, Occupational, Qualification or Proficiency Certificate, you can enhance your current certification with a Blue Seal.  You can also earn a Blue Seal if you have the equivalent to an Alberta trade or occupational certificate. 

To earn a Blue Seal:
Develop your business skills by completing a program of study that is approved by Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training.  At NAIT the approved courses/programs are:

• Business Management Certificate Program (BMCP), or
• Supervisory Development Certificate (SDC), or
• Completion of 150 hours of study in a business subject area.

Submit a completed Blue Seal application, proof of completion (such as official transcripts), and the non-refundable $50 fee to any Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT) office.  Applications are available from www.tradesecrets.gov.ab.ca/blueseal
