Apprenticeship students have unique learning needs because of the pace and design of their program.

If you are an apprentice with a disability, please register with Accessible Education Services as soon as possible to start planning your supports. If you aren’t sure about your documentation, book an appointment with a counsellor to discuss your options.

Your in-school learning periods are short (usually 8-10 weeks), so it is especially important that you start day one with the right supports in place if you have a disability.

As an apprentice, you have access to the same academic accommodations and services that any other student with a disability can access.

Some commonly used supports include the following, but you and your counsellor will find the right ones for you:

• Test Accommodations
• Assistive technology instruction (to help with reading, writing, etc)
• Getting your textbooks in an accessible electronic format
• Developing your learning strategies to help with reading, studying, remembering, and test taking

If you are an apprentice and you think you might have a disability, you can book an appointment with a counsellor to explore your options.

We want you to access the supports that will work for you to be successful in your program.
