Workplace Experience

Workplace experience is the third and the final component of the certification process. Workplace experience refers to relevant and relatively recent experience.

You will need to supply a record of relevant work experience to show that the requirements are met. Backup records, such as pay stubs or letters from employers, may be requested in order to verify the records. This information is supplied to your local certifying organization. Qualified experience must relate to the skills as defined in the National Occupational Standards.

There are different work experience requirements for each occupation. For example, for entry-level occupations, an equivalent of 3 or 4 months may be required. For management and supervisory occupations, the minimum can be 2 years.

To find out the required number of hours of workplace experience for your occupation, refer to the certification fact sheets for your occupation and look for “required experience”.
