Stationary engine mechanics: choosing a qualification class and registering

Match the installation, class and apprenticeship pathway before examination.

Check before acting

A class is not chosen solely from the job title; the installation’s classification matters.

Distinguish the streams

The field includes power-generation classes and refrigeration classes. Have the equipment and class needed for your assignment identified. [1]

Choose the exact qualification page

Consult the page for the class corresponding to the installation. Do not extrapolate eligibility and permitted work from another class. [1]

Document prior learning

For the selected pathway, gather diplomas and evidence of experience or hours. Request the prescribed recognition rather than treating experience alone as certification. [2]

Plan apprenticeship and examination

The class 4 page illustrates apprenticeship, training and pre-examination requirements. Use your own class requirements to plan missing steps with the employer. [2]
