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-1:30pm. 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.

You may apply for your business licence the same day you complete the course, or at any time after. To apply for your licence you will need 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. There is no need to have your Criminal Record Check completed prior to taking the course.

If finances are a barrier to accessing your Criminal Record Check, there is funding available to help cover the cost. If you need help with this cost, please email AdultServices@edmonton.ca.
