- Arrange an appointment with an Apprenticeship Training Consultant and your Employer. The Training Consultant will ensure that your Employer has the appropriate background to train you, assist with the necessary paperwork and monitor your progress throughout your training. Once registered, your work hours will count toward your Certificate of Qualification (C of Q) in your trade. Each trade requires the completion of a certain number of hours before you are eligible to take the in-school training. The Training Consultant is responsible for registering you for the in-school training.
