Introduction

This Study Guide has been developed by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of
Advanced Education, Skills and Labour, Apprenticeship and Trades Certification Division, to
assist apprentices and trade qualifiers as they prepare to write the Interprovincial (IP) Red Seal
Exam. IP Exams are available for all Red Seal trades. For a list of Interprovincial trades please
refer to the Department of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour website:
[Link]

Some of the specific goals of this guide are:

 to help you understand the skills and knowledge that might be covered on the exam
 to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses
 to provide organization and structure for a course of study
 to provide a list of resources to help you with your study plan
 to support and supplement the teaching and learning process

This study guide outlines the theoretical portion of the program. The intent is not to replace
technical training provided under the guidance of instructors. Rather, it is a tool to be used in
conjunction with formal training.

Exam Process
Before the Exam
You must contact the nearest Apprenticeship and Trades Certification Divisional office to make
request to write the IP Red Seal exam (See Appendix A for a list of regional offices). Upon
approval, the Apprenticeship Program Officer (APO) will notify you of your eligibility to write
the exam, and provide you with scheduling information. If you require special accommodations
due to a disability or language barrier, please contact your regional office for information on
applying for this service.

During the Exam

You must bring:
 personal identification such as a photo or signature ID or valid Newfoundland
and Labrador driver’s license
 your notification letter

The following will be provided:

 a calculator (see Appendix B for calculator information)
 all other items required such as pencils, scrap paper, etc.

Important Note:
Personal cell phones, calculators, or other electronic equipment are NOT allowed into the
exam room. If you do bring them, they will be stored away and returned to you when you
have completed the exam.

After the Exam

Results will be mailed to you approximately seven to ten days after completion of the exam. All
necessary instructions and information will be provided in the results letter.

The percentage mark you obtained will be provided. You will also be given a section by section
breakdown, showing how many questions were in each section, as well as the number of
questions in each section you completed successfully.

If you are successful in obtaining a 70% or more on your exam, you will be issued a
Newfoundland and Labrador Certificate of Qualification with a Red Seal endorsement.

4 Study Guide_SteamfitterPipefitter_2019
Exam Format
All IP Red Seal exams are written in multiple-choice format. Each exam has between 100 and
150 questions. A multiple-choice question consists of a stem (a complete question) followed by
four options (A, B, C, D). The stem contains all the information necessary to answer the
question. The options consist of the one correct answer and three “distracters.” Distracters
are incorrect. (See Appendix C for a sample answer sheet).

IP Red Seal exams contain three types of questions:

Level 1 Knowledge and Recall

Questions at this level test your ability to recall and understand definitions, facts,
and principles.

Level 2 Procedural and Application

Questions at this level test your ability to apply your knowledge of procedures to
a new situation.

Level 3 Critical Thinking

Questions at this level test your ability to interpret data, solve problems and
arrive at valid conclusions.

Exam Content
Understanding the Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS)
The Red Seal model has historically been based on the development of the National
Occupational Analysis (NOA), which supports the development of multiple-choice format
examinations.

The RSOS was introduced in 2015 and is now taking the place of the NOA. Each RSOS or NOA
sets the standard for a Red Seal trade. The Red Seal Inter-provincial Examination is based on
the Red Seal Standard.

The new standards provide greater consistency in learning resources and allow for increased
industry involvement in the development of these standards. This new model places increases
emphasis on apprenticeship training and assessing skills with industry learning objectives,
outcomes and performance criteria.

The RSOS for each trade describes the tasks and sub-tasks; skills and knowledge requirements;
summary of essential skills; safety information; trends affecting the trade; technical terms;
names of tools and equipment; acronyms; learning objectives and outcomes; industry expected
performance and essential skills related to each sub-task.

The RSOS is an excellent tool to use as you study for the Red Seal exam. RSOSs can be found at
[Link]

RSOS material is organized into the following categories: MWA (Major Working Activity). The
MWAs are further broken down into TASKS (describes activities within an MWA) and SUB-
TASKS (describe activities within a task – This is what the exam is based on).

RSOS MWA  Tasks  Sub-tasks

The NOA will continue to be used as the occupational standard for trades that do not yet have an RSOS
developed.

 RSOS Pie Chart
The RSOS Pie Chart presents the MWA percentages in the form of a pie chart which tells you
the approximate number of questions from each MWA. For example, 12% of the questions on
the Steamfitter/Pipefitter Exam will be based on MWA A.

RSOS Sub-tasks

The following RSOS Task Profile Checklist outlines the MWAs, tasks and sub-tasks for your trade.
The IP Red Seal exam is written to test your knowledge and abilities regarding the sub-tasks in
the RSOS. This chart can be used to review your current knowledge. You can review by placing
a checkmark () next to those you understand fully.

Place your focus on those you do not understand and study them until you are comfortable
with the material. Think of possible questions in that particular content area.

The RSOS also contains a list of “supporting knowledge and abilities” for each sub-task. They
are the skills and knowledge you must have to perform a sub-task. The supporting knowledge
and abilities identified under each sub-task will be very helpful as you review. The list can be
found in the RSOS, on the Red Seal website, for your trade.

Create a Study Plan

As you prepare for your exam, it is important to plan a schedule. The following two tables will
help you stay on track.

The first table is a “Weekly Study Plan.” In this table list the areas you will focus your study
for each day. You should include items you need to review as well as items you need to study.
Remember, more time will be needed for study in areas you find difficult, whereas you may
only require review in areas you are more familiar with. As you work through the RSOS sub-
task list you can start to fill in this table.

The second table is a “Study Time Table.” It is important to create a study schedule where
you determine the best days of the week and times of day for you to study.

Print several copies of these tables and fill out for each week of study. It is important to stick
to your study schedule.

Study Strategies and Exam Preparation Guide

The Study Strategies & Exam Preparation Guide is meant to be used in conjunction with this study guide. It
provides direction and information on such areas as study habits, test preparation and test taking techniques.

Plan of Training (POT)

A Provincial Plan of Training details the full scope of learning for a particular occupation, including both technical
training competencies and industry experiences necessary to write an IP Red Seal exam (and complete the
requirements for Red Seal Certification), or to write a provincial examination. The Plan of Training is based on the
NOA.
POT Website: [Link]

Red Seal Website

Red Seal is a program that sets common standards to evaluate the skills of tradespeople across Canada. It is a
partnership between the Federal Government and the provinces/territories.

The Red Seal model has been based on the National Occupational Analyses (NOA) which supports the
development of multiple-choice examinations. A new Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS) was introduced in
2015 and is taking the place of the NOA.

Red Seal Website: [Link]

Steamfitter/Pipefitter PRACTICE Exams

These are NOT IP exams. They are practice exams provided by the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and the
Inter-provincial Standards Red Seal program. They were developed using similar question types to that of a Red
Seal exam. The exams are intended to be used for self-assessment in preparation for writing an IP Exam.

Sample questions can be found at:
