Introduction

This Study Guide has been developed by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of
Advanced Education, Skills and Labour, Apprenticeship and Trades Certification Division, to
assist apprentices and trade qualifiers as they prepare to write the Interprovincial (IP) Red Seal
Exam. IP Exams are available for all Red Seal trades. For a list of Interprovincial trades please
refer to the Department of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour website:
https://www.aesl.gov.nl.ca/app/trades.html

Some of the specific goals of this guide are:

 to help you understand the skills and knowledge that might be covered on the exam
 to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses
 to provide organization and structure for a course of study
 to provide a list of resources to help you with your study plan
 to support and supplement the teaching and learning process

This study guide outlines the theoretical portion of the program. The intent is not to replace
technical training provided under the guidance of instructors. Rather, it is a tool to be used in
conjunction with formal training.

Exam Process

Before the Exam


You must contact the nearest Apprenticeship and Trades Certification Divisional office to make
request to write the IP Red Seal exam (See Appendix A for a list of regional offices). Upon
approval, the Apprenticeship Program Officer (APO) will notify you of your eligibility to write
the exam, and provide you with scheduling information. If you require special accommodations
due to a disability or language barrier, please contact your regional office for information on
applying for this service.

During the Exam


You must bring:
 personal identification such as a photo or signature ID or valid Newfoundland
and Labrador driver’s license
 your notification letter

The following will be provided:


 a calculator (see Appendix B for calculator information)
 all other items required such as pencils, scrap paper, etc.

Important Note:
Personal cell phones, calculators, or other electronic equipment are NOT allowed into the
exam room. If you do bring them, they will be stored away and returned to you when you
have completed the exam.

After the Exam


Results will be mailed to you approximately seven to ten days after completion of the exam. All
necessary instructions and information will be provided in the results letter.

The percentage mark you obtained will be provided. You will also be given a section by section
breakdown, showing how many questions were in each section, as well as the number of
questions in each section you completed successfully.

If you are successful in obtaining a 70% or more on your exam, you will be issued a
Newfoundland and Labrador Certificate of Qualification with a Red Seal endorsement.

Exam Format

All IP Red Seal exams are written in multiple choice format. Each exam has between 100 and

four options (A, B, C, D). The stem contains all the information necessary to answer the
question. The options consist of the one correct answer and three “distracters.” Distracters
are incorrect. (See Appendix C for a sample answer sheet).

IP Red Seal exams contain three types of questions:

Level 1 Knowledge and Recall


Questions at this level test your ability to recall and understand definitions, facts,
and principles.

Level 2 Procedural and Application


Questions at this level test your ability to apply your knowledge of procedures to
a new situation.

Exam Content

Understanding the National Occupational Analysis (NOA)


The NOA is a document used for Red Seal trades that describes the knowledge, skills and
abilities required by a fully competent tradesperson working in that trade. The content for the
IP Red Seal exam is based on the NOA. The NOA is an excellent tool to use as you study for the
Red Seal exam. NOAs can be found at www.red-seal.ca.

NOA material is organized into major content areas called BLOCKS. The blocks are further
broken down into TASKS and SUB-TASKS.

NOA Sub-tasks

The following NOA Task Profile Checklist outlines the blocks, tasks and sub-tasks for your trade.
The IP Red Seal exam is written to test your knowledge and abilities regarding the sub-tasks in
the NOA. This chart can be used to review your current knowledge. You can review by placing
a checkmark () next to those you understand fully.

Place your focus on those you do not understand and study them until you are comfortable
with the material. Think of possible questions in that particular content area.

The NOA also contains a list of “supporting knowledge and abilities” for each sub-task. They
are the skills and knowledge you must have to perform a sub-task. The supporting knowledge
and abilities identified under each sub-task will be very helpful as you review. The list can be
found in the NOA for your trade.

Create a Study Plan

As you prepare for your exam, it is important to plan a schedule. The following two tables will
help you stay on track.

The first table is a “Weekly Study Plan.” In this table list the areas you will focus your study
for each day. You should include items you need to review as well as items you need to study.
Remember, more time will be needed for study in areas you find difficult, whereas you may
only require review in areas you are more familiar with. As you work through the NOA sub-
task list you can start to fill in this table.

The second table is a “Study Time Table.” It is important to create a study schedule where
you determine the best days of the week and times of day for you to study.

Print several copies of these tables and fill out for each week of study. It is important to stick
to your study schedule.

Study Strategies and Exam Preparation Guide

The Study Strategies & Exam Preparation Guide is meant to be used in conjunction with this study
guide. It provides direction and information on such areas as study habits, test preparation and test
taking techniques.

Plan of Training (POT)

A Provincial Plan of Training details the full scope of learning for a particular occupation, including both
technical training competencies and industry experiences necessary to write an IP Red Seal exam (and
complete the requirements for Red Seal Certification), or to write a provincial examination. The Plan of
Training is based on the NOA.

National Occupational Analysis - The NOA is a document used for Red Seal trades that describes the
knowledge and abilities required by a fully competent tradesperson working in that trade. The content
for the IP exam is based on the NOA.

Heavy Duty Equipment Technician PRACTICE Exam

This is NOT an IP exam. This is a practice exam provided by the Inter-provincial Standards Red Seal
program. It was developed using similar question types to that of a Red Seal exam. The exam is
intended to be used for self-assessment in preparation for writing an IP Exam.

Sample questions can be found at:
