Sprinkler Fitter Qualifications
We believe in advocating for the highest standards of sprinkler fitter qualifications and promoting both apprenticeship training and continuous education courses for each province in Canada. The NJTAC has always been a strong supporter of the Red Seal Certification for the sprinkler fitter trade and promotes mobility and development of the sprinkler fitter apprenticeship programs across Canada.
Many jurisdictions in Canada have implemented mandatory qualifications (C of Q) for sprinkler fitter scope of practice including installation, ITM, and repairs for water-based (supply/system) fire protection and special hazard suppression systems. These are identified under provincial regulatory requirements, municipal by-laws, and provincial fire codes.
Become a sprinkler fitter apprentice
Apprentice registration will vary from province to province. It will involve a contract through the apprentice, the employer/sponsor, and the provincial government. Initial application is generally administered through a potential employer, local union, or provincial sprinkler JTAC.
