Red Seal Program study books?
Hi, I have found a few jobs for Truck and Transport Mechanics that don't need any Canadian Qualifications - but would have more choice if I take and pass the Red Seal exam.
Does anyone know of study guides, or books ect... to practice for the exam? (thanks Mandymoochoops for sample questions!)
I have e-mailed Red Seal, and Manitoba Education dept. but have had no reply - I will call them to find out more info if I don't hear anything, just wondered if anyone had taken the exam for Truck Mechanics?

study guide for the exam. He said to contact the College that is
offering the apprenticeship course. In your case would be RRC,MB

He pointed out that NOA for the Red Seal can be found on the link below.
See FAQ#3

Hope that helps.

Looks like I will have to go for a job that will let me train whilst I work = less money (the work will be much the same as in the U.K., just different terminology)
I have found a distance learning course offered by Penn Foster, in Diesel Mechanics/Heavy Truck - but it will only give me a career Diploma at the end. Does anyone know if this would be seen as anything worthwhile by an employer?

Thanks again!
I take it Transit is similar to a local Council in the U.K. and provides public transport, and has trucks for various jobs?
The only problem I could foresee, is I think they would need a Canadian License with the employee?

I am seeking study guides and example questions for Red seal exam so I can take the exam before landing in Canada. If you have any information I would appreciate it you would not mind sharing information with me and visa versa.

Has anybody heard of ASE test preparation Study Guide Set for medium and heavy duty trucks? Are they compatible to be used with the red seal trade test for truck mechanics?

Re: Red Seal Program study books?
The requiment in Alberta is that you hold a journeyman license, before you can write the red seal exam. I;m not sure if the same condition applies to other provinces, but my guess is that it would.
The red seal program was developed to enable mobility of workers between province,s, without it my Alberta trade papers are not valid in another province. So I suggest you find out for sure if you are eligible to write it.
Good luck.
