Course materials will be provided at the session. For trades training courses, you will also receive a logbook which can be used to track your progress through the training program. This logbook will need to be kept on your person when at work as it will be used to keep a record of your skills development. Proof of a completed, signed logbook is required when submitting your application for journeyperson certification.

If pre-work required, it will be indicated in the course description. In general, there are two types of pre-work required, depending on the type of session:

Online Pre-Learning: As part of your learning, you may need to complete work in advance of the session. For some online courses, notably Managing Performance in a Union Environment, Collective Bargaining Preparation, and Understanding the Collective Agreement and Management Rights, completion of an online pre-learning course is required. These courses usually take approximately 40-50 mins to complete. Please do so before the zoom session

  • You will receive an automated email from the Learning Management System called ASTUTE to advise you are set up as a learner in the system. Your username (your email address) and temporary password to enable you to sign on to the platform will be provided (be sure to check your chunk mail if you do not see this email in your inbox). 
  • You will receive a second automated email advising of your enrollment in the online course (Please note: if you have already participated in a previous online course through ASTUTE with MEARIE and Oakbridges, you can use the same log-in information).

Reading: Several courses, notably Changing Management and the Chartered Directors Program, requires participants to complete pre-reading in advance of the session. The information will be sent to you in advance of the session. 

We recommend using a computer for both audio and video capability. While the session will work on a tablet, using a computer provides a more interactive experience. We do not recommend using a phone.
