Training

Apprenticeship is a long-standing part of the training and education system in New Brunswick. It is a structured training program that requires the committed participation of three partners: the apprentice, the employer and the government represented by Apprenticeship and Occupational Certification.

All private occupational training organizations in New Brunswick must be registered under the Private Occupational Training Act. Although this registration requirement does provide some basic protection to you, the consumer, it does not certify the quality of the training, or the ethics or competence of the training organizations. It is your responsibility to check these things out yourself. By becoming an informed consumer, you will make better training decisions and maximize the return on your financial and time investment.

In this program, adult learners can obtain instruction in English or French. Academic services for grade levels 1 through 9 and GED preparation is accessible in 70 communities throughout the province. Programs are customized for individual learners' needs.

The Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour delivers the Canadian GED Online program to adults wishing to prepare for writing the General Education Development (GED) tests. It assesses learners’ academic skills and creates a customized learning plan based upon learners’ current knowledge and affords learners the opportunity to study at their own pace from home or at a location within their community when their schedule permits.

The Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour collaborates with 12 Regional Adult Learning Committees to deliver community adult learning services. These committees through Community Adult Learning Centres (CALC) offer academic and e-learning programs and services. CALC Academic Programs are designed to improve literacy levels in the province by bringing literacy training opportunities to adults in their own community.
