Collision Industry Information Assistance (CIIA), the industry trade association, has scheduled two classes to help unlicenced technicians to better successfully complete the Ontario provincial trades licence exam.

The impact of trades licence enforcement by the Ontario College of Trades and the fact that most of the exam “challengers” failed the trades exam on their first try has generated a significant interest in the courses.

These new courses will be offered in Burlington, Ont. as follows:

Full four-day course

Saturday, December 3 and Sunday, December 4 (continues Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11).

Course cost is $1000 plus HST for non-members and $800 plus HST for members.  Most employers who have employees attending class are eligible for a 2/3rds training fee rebate from government.
