Browse BC's skilled trades

These trades require certification by law in BC. Workers must have an authorized SkilledTradesBC status — such as being a certified journeyperson, registered apprentice, or eligible experienced worker operating under a valid Temporary Authorization — which Quantus checks against the SkilledTradesBC registry at onboarding.

Mandatory certification exists for this work, but it is administered outside the ordinary SkilledTradesBC compulsory-trade model — often by a different regulatory body entirely.

Certification is optional for these trades in BC — many tradespeople invest in it anyway. That said, voluntary status only covers the general trade: some specialized work within these trades can still carry its own separate, mandatory credential.

These are marketplace occupations that span several distinct, separately regulated trades and credentials — which one applies depends on the specific work performed, not the occupation name.
