Skill-building courses for learners, workers and leaders

BYS helped me to feel confident about my math and science skills ahead of the trades aptitude test and again before my certificate of qualification exam.

Heavy Equipment Operator Apprentice

I received a wage increase with the higher level of knowledge I had from the skills learned on BYS. I also had a big boost in confidence with my skills. I was nervous about working in a trade, but now I have more confidence from being told I have the relevant skills. This is why I wanted to share this success story.

Build Your Skills helped me review for entry tests.

Electrician Apprentice (Level 2)

I learned the skills I needed to help pass the union’s math test. I’m currently working as a mechanic while waiting to be dispatched to a job by my union. I could use the skills learned on the BYS in this job.

I've enjoyed using this tool to keep sharp on the math skills that are regularly used on the job.

Hazardous Material Worker Apprentice (Level 3)

Great program. Really helped sharpen my math skills after 10 years of not using them. I am very grateful for that. I will use it for my second year as well.

Very useful for a math refresher since I have been out of school for a long time. Without using this online learning application, I doubt I would have succeeded in the math portions of the apprenticeship intake test, which I did pass and helped me to get in as an apprentice.

This is quite an advanced, interactive learning experience.

It is nice to have resources to keep me inspired and informed about working in a trade.

Carpenter Apprentice (Level 2)

Even if you feel you don’t need the help, BYS provides things you may not have realized you’d need. I think every apprentice should have the chance to use it.

A very good training platform – helps students / workers / explorers find and review courses easily.

Take your time through it. Don’t need to rush. Go through piece by piece, taking breaks. Have fun with it. The activities are fun and the videos are great.
