Apply for your Certificate of Qualification without retyping your personal details

Applying for an Ontario Certificate of Qualification through Skilled Trades Ontario asks for the same name, date of birth, and address you enter on every government form, alongside your trade records. This guide is an example of storing the repeating identity fields in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official Ontario source and always use current requirements — the certification process can change:

• Service page: Skilled trades — ontario.ca

What this application is about

The Certificate of Qualification (CoQ) is issued by Skilled Trades Ontario when a tradesperson passes the certifying examination for their trade. A Provisional Certificate of Qualification is issued automatically when you complete your apprenticeship if your trade has a certifying exam.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name, date of birth, and current address.
• Contact details.
• Apprenticeship completion records and examination results.

Confirm the current CoQ application process with Skilled Trades Ontario.
