A course might be offered to every Canadian while employer-specific, hands-on or provincial requirements still apply. We distinguish federal credentials, nationally transferable qualifications, and paid online training. No credential automatically guarantees employment.
NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Credentials tied to federal operating rules. National scope is restricted to the activities described in each credential.
Transport Canada
Before you pay: Age 14+; aviation operating restrictions and registration still apply. This does not authorize advanced drone flying.
Transport Canada-accredited course providers
Before you pay: Use the current Transport Canada provider list. This card is for applicable recreational boating, not commercial marine licensing.
CanBoat / NautiSavoir
Before you pay: Final exam requires an examiner, remotely or in person. ROC(M) does not replace commercial-maritime qualifications such as ROC-MC when required.
NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Serious training or formal examinations. Some trades and professions have additional local authorization and renewal requirements.
Provincial or territorial apprenticeship authority
Before you pay: This is not an instant e-certificate. A Red Seal endorsement on a provincial or territorial trade certificate is not a substitute for separate local occupational licensing requirements.
Lifesaving Society
Before you pay: National Lifeguard requires prerequisite awards and applicable first aid, and is not online-only. Employers and jurisdictions may require current certification or further checks.
Natural Resources Canada — National NDT Certification Body
Before you pay: Not online-only. Verify recognized training organizations before paying; additional experience, vision and practical-exam requirements apply.
ONLINE TRAINING
People across Canada can enrol, but completion does not automatically satisfy each employer or provincial regulator.
Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)
Before you pay: General WHMIS completion does not replace job- and workplace-specific instruction. It is not a universal authorization to handle every hazardous product.
Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)
Before you pay: The CCOHS completion certificate is NOT a TDG Certificate of Training. Applicable job-specific training and an employer-issued certificate remain required.
Canadian Institute of Food Safety (CIFS)
Before you pay: CIFS reports nationwide acceptance; ASK SHAI independently confirmed the Ontario approved-provider listing, not every jurisdiction. The French-language version is not accepted in Manitoba according to CIFS. Verify local rules before paying.
Canadian Red Cross and authorized training partners
Before you pay: A remotely completed theory module is not the whole practical certification. Confirm current course level, provincial requirements and Québec workplace rules.
Before enrolment
Before paying, confirm device requirements and whether a course can be completed on a smartphone. Online exams may need a computer, webcam or reliable broadband; practical tests may require travel. Downloadable reading material is not the same as complete remote certification.
No. Browsing ASK SHAI is free; providers or issuing authorities generally charge for training, exams or certification. Fees and eligibility may vary. Subsidized training may be available separately.
No. Federal credentials have federal scope, transferable qualifications have defined requirements, and online completion records may not satisfy provincial, workplace or employer rules. Check your intended job and location before enrolment.
No. Enrolment, payment, assessment, issuing, refunds and credential verification belong to the respective provider. ASK SHAI does not collect your certificate number, identity documents or training records.
