SECTION 4 - LEARNER’S GUIDE

Key Document in your Trade

The National Occupational Analysis (NOA) is a trade document approved

nationally and used in each province and territory across Canada. The NOA

lists every technical skill required to be successful in your trade. Each NOA

is used to:

¾ create the apprentice log book in your trade;

¾ develop curriculum for trades training programs; and

¾ prepare questions for Red Seal exams.

Technical Skills Inventory (TSI)

The TSI is created from the NOA. It gives a general overview of the

technical skills required for your trade by listing the Blocks, Tasks and Sub-

Tasks in your trade. The TSI:

¾ contains the same information as the apprentice log book in your

trade; and

¾ gives you the opportunity to self-assess your general skills in your

trade.

TSI Terms

Two sets of terms can be used depending on where you learn and work in

your trade. In this TSI document, you will find the common terms listed

first. It is followed by the competency-based terms in italics and

underlined. (In the future, all NOA updates will be using competency-based

terms.)
