When registering for Apprenticeship training, students must make their full payment immediately or provide proof of sponsorship. View the tuition and fees for information about the costs of Apprenticeship training.
Register for training in MyTradesecrets
If your employer wishes to register on your behalf, please complete the Apprentice Enrolment Form (pdf) and share it with your employer to submit to NAIT. Please note that seats are limited and using this form may delay your registration. We recommend students register online in MyTradesecrets.
If you are registering out-of-province or for a distance delivery apprentice, please contact the Student Service Centre.
Fees for SUMMER 2025 Apprenticeship classes
Fees for the apprenticeship classes offered in SUMMER 2025 will only be posted in April. This is expected, and those students will not be dropped for non-payment. Once the summer 2025 fees are posted, NAIT will be contacting enrolled students by email with their deadline to pay for these fees. If you enrol for these summer 2025 classes, please check your email frequently. For all other classes (before summer) that already have fees posted, full payment remains due immediately as indicated above.
Be aware that your existing registration may be subject to change until 6 weeks prior to class start. In rare cases, classes could be cancelled due to low enrolment. If your enrolment changes, you will be notified and placed on a waitlist for the intake.
Create a NAIT student account
Your admissions updates and notifications will be sent to your NAIT student portal account. It's important to check it frequently throughout the application process. If you're attending NAIT for the first time, create a MyNAIT portal account: go to MyNAIT portal, click on Sign Up and enter your student ID and personal information.
We recommend using the same email address for both NAIT and My Tradesecrets so all updates are easily accessible from the same inbox.

If you were an international student at NAIT before starting your apprenticeship journey, you need to update your citizenship status. Just complete and submit the protected information change request form (PDF) to update this before starting classes.
