Residential sheet metal work consists of installation for new construction and retro fitting new equipment. Upon successful completion of the program, you may qualify to write the G3 (Gas Technician) TSSA exam and you may also be exempt from the required in-school training for the Low Rise Residential Sheet Metal apprenticeship should you decide to pursue an apprenticeship in this trade.
