Before you can enter an apprenticeship program you must have a minimum education level and the entrance exam ensures that you will be successful – If you don’t have the minimum requirements you will have a lot of difficulty learning the technical requirements for your chosen trade.  So this helps everyone!

Entrance tests are developed and administered by the trade unions and locals. The following trades require a screening trade aptitude test: Ironworkers, Plumbers, Millwrights, Carpenters, Pipefitters, Sheet metal worker, Steamfitters, Welders, Boilermakers, Painters, Machinists, and more.

Generally you will need a passing grade of 70% on the test.
