PLUMBING APPRENTICESHIP ASSESSMENT
COURSE PLA3405: TOOLS & EQUIPMENT
Level: First Period Apprenticeship
Prerequisite: PLA3900: Apprenticeship Safety
Description: Students develop basic hand and power tool and production skills to safely complete various plumbing jobs.
Parameters: Access to a materials work centre, complete with basic plumbing tools and materials, and to instruction from an individual
with journeyperson certification in the plumbing trade.
ILM Resources: Hand and Power Tools Part A 060101fA, Hand and Power Tools Part B 060101fB, Explosive Actuated Tools

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 teachers responsibility to ensure that all outcomes are taught and assessed.
Assessment Tools Notes
Checklist Prior to instruction, a copy of the checklist should be provided to the student to review outcomes that will need to
be demonstrated.
The student may use this checklist as a guide when completing this course.
The teacher should review and sign the checklist when the course is complete to ensure student outcomes have
been successfully demonstrated.
Rubric Prior to instruction, a copy of the rubric should be provided to the student to review and reflect on meeting
expectations set out in the criteria.
This rubric may be used as one element of an assessment process. Teachers should use both formative and
summative assessments to ensure students competency in this course.

COURSE PLA3460: GAS THEORY

PLA3455: Gas Fundamentals
Description: Students learn that the combustion process has to be done in a controlled environment set up by the appliance
manufacturer. Students have to complete all required field adjustments and verify that the appliance is operating
correctly using the rating plate to set the parameters for that controlled environment. Students also learn the minimum
standards required to keep costs down while maintaining a safe and efficient industry.
