Oil Heat System Technician
Background:
The Apprenticeship and Trades Qualifications Act and General Regulations were proclaimed on July 1, 2003. Subsequently, all existing trade regulations need to be reviewed to ensure they meet the needs of industry under the current Act. The Board established an ad hoc advisory committee in September 2007 to review the trade regulation for the Oil Burner Technician trade and to propose amendments to the Apprenticeship Board. Amendments would include a name change to Oil Heat System Technician.
