NAIT's Boilermaker programme is an apprenticeship leading to a Red Seal Journeyperson Certificate. Boilermakers fabricate and maintain boilers, tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors and ships, often working in confined spaces at fabrication shops and heavy industrial sites, both indoors and outdoors. The apprenticeship combines paid work experience with a sponsoring employer and periods of in-class technical training at NAIT, which is the only institute in Alberta providing boilermaker training. Training covers the layout, fabrication, assembly, repair and testing of boilers and pressure-retaining vessels used across industrial and construction settings. As with other Alberta trades, admission, sponsorship and technical-training scheduling for the Boilermaker apprenticeship are administered through Alberta's apprenticeship and industry training system rather than a standard academic application process.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: To register as an apprentice in Alberta for this trade, applicants must be a resident of Alberta or primarily working in Alberta within the scope of the apprenticeship, and must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident of Canada, Convention refugee or protected person, a refugee claimant holding a work permit, a Post-Graduation Work Permit holder, or a Ukrainian citizen living as a temporary resident who meets Apprenticeship and Industry Training conditions. Entrance requirements are specific to the trade, typically based on required high school courses, with alternative options available if these have not been met. Applicants must also secure a sponsor — a business or organization providing paid on-the-job mentorship — before starting on-the-job training, though registration and classroom instruction may proceed before a sponsor is found.
