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:
create the apprentice log book in your trade;
develop curriculum for trades training programs; and
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:
TSI Terms
contains the same information as the apprentice log book in your
trade; and
gives you the opportunity to self-assess your general skills in your
trade.
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.)
