Approved Training Courses

Alberta Employment and Immigration (E&I) works with approved training agencies across the province. This ensures that workers with jobs in the areas listed below receive the health and safety training they need.

E&I approved training courses:

• Asbestos Worker Training
• Audiometric Technician Training
• Emergency mine rescue at surface mines*
• Explosives Safety Training and Blaster's Permit
• First Aid Training

Alberta Occupational Health and Safety legislation requires training programs for these activities which must be approved by E&I.

*The training program for emergency mine rescue is administered by the Alberta Mine Safety Association.

No other occupational health and safety training programs are required to be approved by E&I. However, employers must ensure that workers are adequately trained and competent to perform their work.
