INSTRUMENT TECHNICIAN APPRENTICESHIP ASSESSMENT
COURSE ISA3400:
TOOLS
Level:
First Period Apprenticeship
Prerequisite:
ISA3900: Apprenticeship Safety
Description:
Students develop an understanding of how the apprenticeship program operates along with learning basic hand and power
tool and production skills to safely complete various instrumentation jobs.
Parameters:
Access to a material work centre, complete with basic instrumentation tools and materials, and to instruction from an
individual with journeyperson certification in the instrument technician trade.
ILM Resources:
Introduction to Apprenticeship, Safety and Occupational Skills – Part A 310101aA; Introduction to Apprenticeship,
Safety and Occupational Skills – Part B 310101a B; Basic Tools – Part A 310101bA; Basic Tools – Part B 310101bB
This sample rubric is for assessing technical elements that students need to know to be successful if they challenge the first-period apprenticeship
exam. The rubric does not include the last two common outcomes that address the demonstration of teamwork and personal management and
identification of steps to achieve personal goals. It is the certificated teacher’s responsibility to ensure that all outcomes are taught and assessed.

COURSE ISA3900:
APPRENTICESHIP SAFETY
Level:
First Period Apprenticeship
Prerequisite:
None
Description:
Students develop knowledge, skills and attitudes in the practice of workshop health and safety, communication and
career planning.
Parameters:
Access to a materials work centre and to instruction from an individual with specialized training in occupational health
and safety (and understanding of the instrumentation industry) and/or an instrument technician.
ILM Resources:
Safety Legislation, Regulations and Industry Policy in the Trades 650101a; Climbing, Lifting, Rigging and Hoisting
650101b; Hazardous Materials and Fire Protection 650101c; Communication 090101d
This sample rubric is for assessing technical elements that students need to know to be successful if they challenge the first-period apprenticeship
exam. The rubric does not include the last two common outcomes that address the demonstration of teamwork and personal management and
identification of steps to achieve personal goals. It is the certificated teacher’s responsibility to ensure that all outcomes are taught and assessed.
Assessment Tools
