Hi guys,
I'm planing to get a 313A certificate.College of Trades emailed me a package for the trade equivalency assessment. I have 2 questions about the assessment.
1. what documents should I attach with the assessment application. employment letter seems a must. but what else?
2. how long does it take to pass the assessment. i was told that i can only challenge the C of Q after I received the assessment.

Thanks many times in advance! :) :) :)

Definitely read and understand this link. Pages 1-4 are pretty important with the detailed instructions.

Back to the first link, you also need to include proper government ID, letters, etc. There's some example letters on here in another thread about it.

I'm still in the process myself and I'm absolutely amazed at how long it's taking. The original estimated timeframe has came and gone a while ago.

Thank you so much!

I am surprised the assessment takes so long...the cost of time for the C of Q is much higher than the exam fees...
