Upgrading and training are based on the skills required to be successful in an occupation or workplace of your choice. Using Essential Skills-based training can inform you of the skills required for a particular occupation, measure your current skill levels, and provide specific recommendations for you to upgrade your Essential Skills.  

Essential Skills are a prerequisite and are required to prepare the student for their technical training at different levels for carpentry, plumbing and electrical.

Essential Skills training is also used to prepare the student for success in the Business Certificate program.
