Academic training is just one of several requirements needed for an ECE Licence to Practice Certificate. You must also have taken your ECE courses at an approved training institution, have an approved, up-to-date first aid certificate, and have completed 500 hours of work experience for a 5 year licence to practice. For a 1 year licence to practice you do not have to submit proof of completion of the 500 hours of work experience.
