Alberta Industry and Training (AIT) examines workers’ experience and hours of work in the steamfitting-pipefitting trade to determine if they are qualified to enter the Alberta Trade Qualification Program enabling the worker to challenge the Steamfitter Red Seal Exam. This successful program serves as a preparatory course for the member to challenge the Red Seal Exam.


The 20-day course is highly condensed and provides essential technical information. Course topics include: Occupational Skills and Safety, Drawings and Specifications, Piping Layout, Rigging, HP and LP Steam Systems, Hydronic Systems, Refrigeration, Testing and Commissioning, and Maintenance and Repair. UA members from other provinces may also take this course in preparation for writing the exam in their home province.

Completion of Steamfitter Equivalency course does not guarantee an attempt of the Steamfitter Red Seal Qualification Exam. Students must make provisions with AIT to allow for writing the trade qualification exam.

PPE requirements: This class is intended as a classroom only course, but if time allows there may be shops, PPE as per instructor direction.
