 C.P.C.A TRAINING & CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR PETROLEUM MECHANICS |
|
|
C.P.C.A’s training and certification program was developed to provide a national training standard for individuals who are entering the petroleum mechanic industry as well as for experienced technicians. The program is based on national standards including the National Fire Code and the Canadian Council Ministers of the Environment – Code of Practices.
Saskatchewan uses the C.P.C.A course for their Trades Recognition program. This is the first province to implement an apprenticeship program for petroleum mechanics. Our courses are in a self-study, modular format and are delivered by our member provincial associations.
