Level Exam – Rewrites

Application Process

Eligibility Criteria 

If an apprentice receives a grade of less than 70% on the level exam (completed at the end of in-school training period), they may be eligible for a rewrite.

  • One level exam rewrite will be permitted a minimum of 30 calendar days after the initial exam writing, and should be completed within a maximum of 90 days. See “How to Apply” below.
  • To be eligible for a 3rd or subsequent exam attempt, a course of study approved by ATCD must be successfully completed. Please contact an Apprenticeship Program Officer to discuss options.
  • Rewrite opportunities are scheduled monthly in each regional apprenticeship office.

How To Apply

  • A Level Exam Rewrite Registration Form must be submitted.
  • The form lists the locations and dates of monthly re-writes.
  • Email the form to blockexams@gov.nl.ca or fax to 709-466-3987
  • The apprentice will be notified via email of the details on the scheduled exam rewrite.
  • To request a Breakdown of your level exam results, email blockexams@gov.nl.ca.  A requested breakdown will ONLY be provided after the apprentice has registered for the rewrite.

Deadline to apply

A level exam rewrite registration form must be submitted a minimum of 3 weeks prior to the selected rewrite date. If an apprentice is unable to attend a scheduled rewrite, notice must be sent to blockexams@gov.nl.ca at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled exam date.

Decision-Making Process
