Not necessarily. If you’re new to the trades, a pre-trade course is the best way to get started in the industry. However, some trainees learn while they’re working, rather than doing a pre-trade course at a polytechnic. This option can be ideal for trainees who are already prepared for life on the job and have some experience under their belt.
