First of all you have to have your H2S Alive course, make sure that you don't fall for a course with a different name, (there are many available but only few are recognized in the industry). Your best bet would be to go to http://www.enform.com and book your course at one of their many locations. They are the most accredited certification available.
Once accepted for an "Interview" ("can you spell your own name?") then you have to go for a pre-employment physical. This process wich has been adopted by most of the major companies in Alberta is a process that will certainly eliminate many "out-of-shape" applicants. It is not an easy process, basically you have to be able to "comfortably" lift 100lbs. If you want to practice for this physical, take 100 lbs in weights and do as many squats as you can each day. Once you are able to do at least 25, you are well on your way to success.
With this physical also comes a drug and alcohol screening. Basically they want to make sure you aren't drunk during the physical or have done any drugs for the last 60 - 90 days. For those of you who enjoy mellowing out with a little bit of whacky tabacky once in a while, those drinks and pills at head shops will not work to falsify the results of this test (I'm talking from experience). So make sure that if you plan on going out to Alberta to work and change your life, make the little saccrifice of laying off the drugs for a couple of months. Well at least untill you pass the drug testing and start working. (With money comes happiness....)
