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.
