1. Decrease The Risk Of Extra Costs

To become Red Seal certified in a trade, candidates must obtain at least 9,720 hours of work experience (Kasalo, 2016). This means you can feel confident that your equipment is being repaired by a mechanic with the knowledge and experience for the job. 

2. Red Seal Mechanics Have Passed An Industry- Regulated Exam

Red Seal mechanics must undergo an examination to prove their knowledge and expertise in their trade. Once an individual has passed their Red Seal exam they hold the title of a Seal, which represents their knowledge within their trade (Red Seal Canada, 2024). Hiring a Red Seal Mechanic indicates that a tradesperson has shown the knowledge required for the national standard within that trade. 

3. Red Seal Mechanics Are Credible

A Red Seal mechanic is accredited within a specialized trade. The Red Seal program was created in Ottawa in 1952 at the national conference for apprenticeships in trades and was officially run by the provincial and territorial government, so not just anyone can obtain this title. 

4. Safety Is Important

Red Seals are trained and educated to ensure the safety and operation of equipment.
