PREFACE

This training standard was developed by the Workplace Training Branch of the Ministry of
Training, Colleges, and Universities (MTCU), in partnership with the Industry Committee and in
consultation with representatives from the industry. This document is intended to be used by
apprentice, supervisor/trainer and sponsor/employer as a "blueprint" for training and as a
prerequisite for completion and certification.

This training document becomes the apprentice’s only record of workplace training performance.

Supervisor/trainer and apprentice are required to sign off and date the skills following each
successful acquisition, unless a skill is marked shaded (optional).

The care and maintenance of this training document are the joint responsibility of the
apprentice and the sponsor/employer. By signing off the skill, the supervisor/trainer and
the apprentice are indicating that the apprentice has demonstrated competence of the skill.
This training standard has been developed specifically for documenting the apprentices
acquisition of skills of the trade.
