In March, RFANS and NSAA travelled across the province to visit facilities that currently have apprentices enrolled in the course to do a check in, gather feedback and talk about ways that the course could be approved. The course was originally designed to help facility operators that had been out of school for some time, had minimal computer experience but lots of hands-on experience in the field.
As the industry changes, we see a need to adjust the course to meet the needs of the industry. We heard a recurring theme to add a practical component to the course to allow for more hands-on experience. We will continue to work with our partners to make improvements that ensure our facility operators get the training needed to keep our facilities safe.
