Credentials, training, and coverage for this trade
- Red Seal available for interprovincial mobility
- Liability insurance is recommended
Cabinetmaking in Quebec does not require a specific provincial licence for individual workers. Unlike some construction trades, cabinetmaking is not specifically listed as a CCQ trade, so the CCQ competency certificate requirements do not apply in the same way. However, contractors who install cabinets as part of larger construction or renovation projects may need the appropriate RBQ licence. A Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) in cabinetmaking is available through Quebec's vocational education system. If cabinet installation involves plumbing or electrical modifications, licensed tradespeople with appropriate CMMTQ or CMEQ credentials are required. Red Seal endorsement is available for cabinetmakers for interprovincial mobility.
Comment vérifier
Ask about their training (DEP in cabinetmaking) and review their portfolio. If part of a renovation, ask for the contractor's RBQ licence number.
