1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Scope This document outlines the examination program for on-site sewage system installers, administered and authorized by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing as referenced in Section 2.18. of the Ontario Building Code (OBC). Policies and Procedures for building practitioner examinations for chief building officials and inspectors, designers and Registered Code Agencies can be found on the Building Code website at www.obc.mah.gov.on.ca. The Policies and Procedures are subject to revision. Users should check the Building Code website at www.obc.mah.gov.on.ca for the current edition of these Policies and Procedures and referenced documents. 1.2. Role of the Examination Program Sections 15.11. and 15.12. of the Building Code Act, 1992 (BCA), as amended by the Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002 (Bill 124) require certain building practitioners to have the qualifications set out in the OBC. These qualifications are set out in OBC Sections 2.16. through 2.19., which were added to the OBC through Ontario Regulation 305/03 and amended through Ontario Regulations 145/05 and 146/05. The qualifications for on-site sewage system installers are described in Section 2.18. of the amended OBC. The qualifications which on-site sewage system installers must have, include:

(1) Successful completion of an examination program administered by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and

(2) Registration with the Director of the Building and Development Branch. Any individual is entitled to apply for and take examinations in accordance with these Policies and Procedures. Table 1 outlines the role of the Examination Program with respect to the qualification of on-site sewage system installers.

Table 1: Types of Practitioners and the Relationship between Qualification Requirements and the Examination Program

Type of practitioner Relationship between Qualification Requirements and the Examination Program

Persons engaged in the business of constructing on-site, installing, repairing, servicing, cleaning or emptying sewage systems (on-site sewage system installers)

To be qualified, on-site sewage system installers must be registered with the Director. Among other things, registration requires the filing of information on certain individuals who have successfully completed the Examination Program – see OBC Clause 2.18.3.2.(1)(a).

1.3. Date of effect The requirement that on-site sewage system installers have the qualifications referenced in Section 2.18 of the OBC (as amended by Ontario Regulation 305/03) took effect September 1, 2003. On-site sewage system installers that were licensed prior to September 1, 2003 are deemed to be qualified. 1.4. Updating of Qualifications When an examination that is part of this examination program is replaced with a new examination, individuals may be required to update their qualifications through successfully completing new examinations set by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Such examinations may be required, for example, following major changes to the technical or administrative requirements of the OBC. The OBC establishes mechanisms for notifying qualified building practitioners of new examination requirements (e.g., Subsection 2.18.3.8. of the OBC references the updating of qualifications for on-site sewage system installers).

Qualification Examination Syllabi Page 2 of 38 March, 2005

Introduction to these Syllabi

On July 25, 2003 the Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002 (Bill 124) was proclaimed andO.Reg. 305/03 was filed to implement the Province's building regulatory reforms*. Included amongthe reforms is the requirement for mandatory qualifications for all building officials and mandatoryqualifications for certain classes of designers and registered code agencies. These are in addition tothe qualification requirements for on-site sewage inspectors and installers in place since 1997.

Mandatory qualifications are set out in the Building Code, and include the requirement that certainindividuals successfully complete an examination program administered or authorized by the Ministryof Municipal Affairs and Housing.

This document gives examination candidates the specific topics that will be covered in eachexamination. The Examination Programs set out requirements for specific building practitionersregulated under Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, and 2.19 of the Ontario Building Code.

* - the Building Code has been further amended by O.Reg. 145/05 and O.Reg. 146/05,filed on March 29, 2005.

Examination Approach

Examinations do not necessarily include all of the provisions specified in a particular syllabus. Instead, each syllabus defines the pool of knowledge that a practitioner is expected to know. Examinations are made up of representative samples drawn from the pool. Further, some questionsmay require candidates to consider provisions that lie outside of the syllabus, but are directlyreferenced by provisions contained within the syllabus - particularly in advanced standing exams.

These syllabi were developed using a peer-assessment process based on committees that includedover 50 practitioners representing OBOA (large, small, urban, rural, plans review and inspection),LMCBO, TACBOC, OPIA, OAA, PEO, OACETT, AATO, ARIDO, OMFPOA, and OAFC. Theseadvisory committees also ranked Code requirements in terms of their:

Difficulty: How hard it is to understand, interpret and apply the underlying intent of theprovision?

Importance: How important is the Article in supporting the purpose or objectives of the Code(health, safety, fire protection, structural sufficiency, accessibility, conservationand environmental integrity of the building)?

Frequency: How often the provision is applied?

The examination questions focus on areas of high relevance (difficulty, importance and frequency)and are geared to assess a candidate’s ability to find, understand and apply these provisions.

Find: Search the Code and find or identify a non-familiar Code provision.Understand: Comprehend the language, structure and intent behind a Code provision(s).Apply: Use the Code provision(s) in a case example, situation, or scenario.

Referenced Documents

The examinations are based on the following documents:• Building Code Act, 1992, as amended by Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act,

Writing Successful Examinations

Tips to help you prepare for and write your exams

Writing exams is an important step in the process of obtaining your provincial qualification. As you are well aware, in

addition to the legal/process examination, you must also successfully complete the technical examination(s) based on

the building types you are involved with within your practice.

The following tips are aimed at helping you study and include valuable advice for making the most of your exam

sessions.

Please keep in mind; you alone can determine your chances for success. Among all the advice offered in this paper,

adopt the suggestions that fit you best and adapt them according to your strengths and weaknesses.

Preparing for the Exam:

Before The Exam

● Be well prepared for the exam. Include as much self-testing in your review as possible.

● Get a good night's sleep. Arriving at the exam center rested and alert is one of the best ways to prepare for

the exam.

● Double-check the time of the exam and the location.

● The night before the exam make sure you collect all the material you will need for the exam. Bring all the

necessary materials:

❍ Building Code Act, 1992, as amended by the Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002 effective

July 1, 2005

❍ Ontario Building Code, 1997 (O.Reg. 403/97) as amended by O.Reg. 305/03 effective July 1, 2005

❍ Supplementary Guidelines to the Ontario Building Code, 1997 as amended to September, 2003 (where

referenced in an examination syllabus)

❍ The Code and Guide for Plumbing 1997 (O.Reg 403/97), as amended by O.Reg. 305/03 (where

applicable) effective July 1, 2005

❍ Code & Guide for Sewage Systems 1997 as amended to September, 2003 (where applicable)

❍ A non-programmable calculator

● Bring your Admission Letter and get to the exam 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the exam.

● Ensure you know the exact location of the exam center, how you plan to get there, and where you will park;

the last thing you need is the extra tension that comes from worrying about being late for the exam.

● Read the Candidate Protocol.

● Choose a seat in the room that is as far away from likely distractions as possible.

● Try to relax. Being relaxed will help you concentrate on the task ahead and help you overcome your worries.

● Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater/jacket. Exam rooms can be too hot or too cold. You can't

change the room but you can put on or remove extra layers of clothing.

● Bring an accurate watch. The invigilator will post the time during the exam but be prepared also.

● Avoid talking directly about the exam with people who are also about to write.

obc - Writing Successful Examinations

● Listen carefully to all instructions given by the invigilator, and follow any procedures given to ensure the

success of the assessment process.

● Preview the whole exam before you start to write. Read the directions very carefully.

● As you work on the exam, focus only on the exam, not on what others are doing. If you feel anxious during

the exam, take a few minutes to calm yourself down. Stretch your arms and legs, take a few slow deep

breaths, do some positive internal self-talk. If the exam is more difficult than you anticipated, try to focus and

simply give it your best effort. The passing grade is 70%.

During the Exam:

Strategies in Answering Multiple Choice Questions

Multiple-choice questions ask you for fine distinctions between correct and nearly correct options. These distinctions

not only deal with Recognition, but also involve the thinking processes of Synthesis, Analysis, and Application. Multiple-

choice questions are made up of three key components:

● The STEM which states the problem or question to be answered,

● The CORRECT ANSWER which is one of the four possible choices representing the only correct response or

best response.

● The DISTRACTORS which are the remaining options. These options may be plausible, but are either incorrect

or not the 'best' possible answer.

A Checklist of Do’s & Don'ts in Answering Multiple Choice Questions:

● Read through each question completely and carefully. Avoid jumping to any conclusions about what you think

the question is asking.

● If you know the answer to a question, mark it on the answer sheet and move on.

http://www.obc.mah.gov.on.ca/userfiles/HTML/nts_4_17711_1.html (3 of 5)25/07/2005 12:30:35 PM

Page 77: obc - On Site Sewage InstallersLMCBO, TACBOC, OPIA, OAA, PEO, OACETT, AATO, ARIDO, OMFPOA, and OAFC. These advisory committees also ranked Code requirements in terms of their: Difficulty:

obc - Writing Successful Examinations

● If you are unable to make a choice and need to spend more time with the question, or if you answered the

question but are not sure that you made the correct choice, circle or put a big “?” beside that question in the

exam booklet, so you can come back to it later.

● Avoid getting bogged down on one question part way through the exam. It is much better to move on and

finish all of the questions that you can answer and then come back later to address the problematic questions.

For such problematic questions, if you do not know the answer, re-check the stem of the question; narrow your

choices by eliminating any alternatives that you know are not correct. If two options still look equally

appealing, compare each to the stem of the question, making sure that the one you eventually choose answers

what is asked. If you are still not sure, make an educated guess (there is no penalty for wrong answers).

● Some individuals prefer to transfer all their responses to the answer sheet at the same time, once they have

answered all the questions on the exam. Others prefer to mark their choice on the answer sheet as they go

along. Regardless of which method you select, be sure that you have filled the necessary parts and appropriate

bubbles on your answer sheet carefully in pencil! A multiple-choice exam offers you no opportunity for "partial

credit." If you filled the wrong bubble, your answer is 100% wrong.

● Check often to ensure you are recording your answers in the right spots. For example, the scanner will not

know that you made a mistake early on in answering Question #22 in the space for Question #23, and all your

subsequent answers are the right answers but recorded in the wrong spots!

● Be very careful not to make any stray marks on the answer sheet used to record your answers. The scanner

cannot distinguish between an accidental mark and one filled in as the answer. When the scanner detects two

marks, it assumes the answer is incorrect. Then look over the questions again, change an answer only if you

can logically justify the change.

● Don't use the same alternative (e.g. 'b') every time you guess the answer to a question you are unsure of.

Eliminate any obviously incorrect alternatives and make an educated guess from those choices remaining.

obc - Writing Successful Examinations

● Don't pick your answer based on any apparent or suspected pattern of responses. For example, don't eliminate

alternative 'c' just because you answered 'c' in the previous three responses.

● Don't try to determine whether there is any pattern to correct answers.

● Don't dismiss an alternative because it seems too obvious or too simple an answer. If you are well prepared

for the exam, some of the questions will appear very straightforward to you.

● Take the time to check your work before you hand in your exam booklet and the answer sheet.

● Return all material as instructed by the invigilator.

GOOD LUCK!
