Practical Skills Record - Fourth Class [Ed. 2]

Price C$139.00

The purpose of the Practical Skills Record is to provide individuals with a convenient, centralized log to record their personal task completion and work experience while acquiring 4th Class ‘firing time’. Future employers may find the skills and experience recorded to be useful.

In consultation with industry, learning institutions, and individuals across Canada, the Institute of Power Engineers (IPE) has developed and updated this book to match the revised SOPEEC syllabus. The index in Edition 2 has also been updated to be larger and include more specific keywords.

Note: Use and completion of this manual is NOT a mandatory requirement of the Power Engineering certification regulations in any Canadian jurisdiction; however, its use will assist both the Trainee and the Chief Engineer to accurately validate an individual’s task competencies history. The local jurisdiction will state what experience form must be completed when applying for exams.
