PREFACE
This training document was developed by the Workplace Support Services Branch of the Ministry
of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) in consultation with representatives from the
industry. These Training Standards are intended to be used by the apprentice, trainers and
employers 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 and the
employer. The Training Standards were developed specifically for documenting the apprentice's
acquisition of skills.
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. For information on OCTAA and its
regulations, please visit: http://www.collegeoftrades.ca/about/legislation-and-regulations

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 must perform each skill in order to become competent. Competence means being able
to do the performance to the required standard on request.
In using these Training Standards, trainers will be able to ensure that the apprentice is developing
skills detailed for the occupation.
Employers 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 skill set.
