License Information Course

This is a mandatory course for anyone applying for an Escort or Body Rub Practitioner licence. There is no fee.

The information session is held Thursdays from 9:30am-2pm. The course provides an overview of all the employment standards, regulations, laws, rights and important health information that apply to those working in adult-oriented businesses.

There are options for in-person and virtual sessions. If you require interpretation services, we are only able to provide this service at in-person sessions, so please ensure you select the appropriate date.

You may apply for your business licence the same day you complete the course. To apply for your licence please bring a current Criminal Record Check which is no more than 90 days old from the Edmonton Police Service and one piece of government-issued ID with a photo.
ANSWER Society is a local non-profit which has funding to help cover the cost of a criminal records check. If you need help with this cost, please visit ANSWER Society - Licencing Assistance.
