This document is the property of the apprentice named inside and represents the official record of his/her training.

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.
