PREFACE

This training document was developed by the Apprenticeship and Client

Services Office of the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board in consultation

with representatives from the industry. These Training Standards are intended

to be used by apprentice/trainee, instructors and companies as a "blueprint" for

training or as a prerequisite for government accreditation/certification.

The care and maintenance of this book is the joint responsibility of the

apprentice/trainee and the employer. The Training Standards were developed

specifically for documenting the apprentice's/trainee's acquisition of skills.

The book becomes the only record of an apprentice's/trainee's training.

IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS TO TRAINERS

The Training Standards identify skills required for this occupation and its

related training program.

These Training Standards have been written in concise statements which

describe how well an apprentice/trainee must perform each skill in order to

become competent.

In using these Training Standards, trainers will be able to ensure that the

apprentice/trainee is developing skills detailed for the occupation.

Trainers and apprentices/trainees are required to sign off and date the skills

following each successful acquisition.

Employers participating in this training program will be designated as the

Signing Authority and are required to attest to successful achievement by

.signing the appropriate box included at the end of each unit.

Please Note: Apprenticeship Training and Curriculum Standards were developed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). As of April 8th, 2013, the Ontario College of Trades (College) has become responsible for the development and maintenance of these standards. The College is carrying over existing standards without any changes. However, because the Apprenticeship Training and Curriculum Standards documents were developed under either the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act (TQAA) or the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998 (ACA), the definitions contained in these documents may no longer be accurate and may not be reflective of the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (OCTAA) as the new trades legislation in the province. The College will update these definitions in the future. Meanwhile, please refer to the College’s website (http://www.collegeoftrades.ca) for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the College.
