The gold standard for trade exam preparation
Master your trade exam with expert-crafted theory and practice

The Red Seal (Interprovincial) exam is the national certification exam that lets qualified tradespeople work anywhere in Canada. It covers the 54 designated trades and tests the essential knowledge and skills of the trade — standards, codes, safety, and work practices. Our platform offers complete theory and thousands of practice questions per trade.

The Red Seal exam contains between 100 and 150 multiple-choice questions depending on the trade, and you get 4 hours to complete it. The passing mark is 70%. The exact number of questions and the breakdown by section are published for each trade on the official Red Seal program website.

Start with the complete theory for your trade, organized by chapter following the exam profile (NOA — National Occupational Analysis). Then take timed practice exams to get used to the 100-to-150-question, 4-hour format, and use the AI tutor to deepen difficult concepts. Repeat until you comfortably exceed the 70% pass mark.

Yes — that is the big advantage of the Red Seal. The Interprovincial exam is the same in all 10 provinces and 3 territories. Once you earn your Red Seal, you can work anywhere in Canada without rewriting the exam, thanks to the trade mobility agreement.

Prerequisites vary by province and trade. In general, you must have completed a provincial apprenticeship program (or an equivalent recognized credential) and be recommended by your province's certification authority. In Quebec, apprentices register with the CCQ (Commission de la construction du Québec), which administers the process.

The Red Seal exam is administered by your province's certification authority — in Quebec, the CCQ (Commission de la construction du Québec). It is written on a computer at a designated exam centre. Preparation, on the other hand, can be done entirely online with our platform: complete theory, timed practice exams, and an AI tutor to guide you.
