I'm hoping to be able to challenge my 313d soon, and I understand that its 4500 hours needed before i can do so.
I am a Licensed Plumber and Gas Tech 2 , but I haven't been working on A/C much, and my boss is Master Plumber and Gas tech 1, will he be able to sign off saying that I'm ok to write, or do I need to work under a 313A or D to sign me off?
Thanks for the help answering the question

Only a 313 certificate holder can sign you up as an apprentice.
QuoteYou need a licensed mechanic to sign you up as an apprentice, and then write off your 4500 hrs and challenge the exam for $100. You don't need to signup as an apprentice and then work 4500hrs. The licensed mechanic can write off hours that you worked on A/C equipment prior to becoming an apprentice.
You have to call the Ministry to get the proper paperwork, and to book the exam. The Ottawa office phone number is 613-731-7100. Just tell them you need a residential air conditioning mechanic supervisor's assessment of skill sets document, and you need the competency analysis profile form, to be filled out by your employer.
