Hi Edison, here is the link for new books. https://panglobal.org/4th-class-power-engineering/ You will have to reach out to the provincial authority to have your experience evaluated and confirm you are eligible to challenge the 4th class. What province are you in?

I have millwright ticket and energy management training (CEM). Both jive well with power engineering. Energy management has been great with chief/management roles.

@Manpreet singh Bhatti Industrial mechanic/millwright is an apprenticeable red seal trade. There are different pathways through out Canada and within each province. Generally, you start with a college course, gain work experience, complete a series of smaller courses and exams. Some power engineering jobs overlap with the millwright trade and you may be able to accumulate hours and challenge exams. Your provincial apprenticeship authority would be the place to confirm which pathways are available to you.

What about this equation is it correct?

Hey Manpreet, that would be another Pan Global error. Should be =a-b+b. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Prerequisite to Challenge your Exams
Good morning fellow Power Engineers. I've recently received a response from TSSA (Ontario) stating that anyone new to power engineering can challenge their 4th-class exams without the need to complete an accredited course. This was news to me! To my knowledge, the other jurisdiction that allows entry-level power engineers to challenge their 4th-class exams is TSASK (Saskatchewan). This is a huge advantage to anyone too busy to attend in-person classes or who struggles with the unguided online programs offered by some colleges. Anyone in these provinces looking to break into the industry, can study the books and challenge the exams at their will! - Which province are you located in? - Are there prerequisites to challenge the 5th or 4th class exams in your jurisdiction/province? - What do you think of the requirement to complete an accredited course to be eligible to sit for these entry-level exams? * Let me know if I made a mistake with the associated jurisdiction/province name * Only 10 options available - Let me know if you are located in any of the terrirories

Hey Stephen, can I ask which province you plan to write your exams in? There are some provinces where this is possible.

@Stephen Ramkissoon yes, usually you would write in the province you would do your training and/or steam time. However, you can transfer your license between provinces. I believe Alberta does require accredited training. @Jolan Dreyer or @Amanda Sapach can you send Stephen our latest email distribution discussing the various requirements from province to province?
Have You Ever Written Two Power Engineering Exams In One Day? What Happened?
Power Engineers! I'd be interested in hearing how many of you have written two power engineering exams in one day and what your results were! I did this twice throughout my power engineering career with the following results: January 10, 2011 4A Power Engineering Exam: 77.3% 4B Power Engineering Exam: 71.3% Total Score: 77.3% + 71.3% = 148.6% August 2, 2011 3B1 Power Engineering Exam: 71.7% 3B2 Power Engineering Exam: 74% Total Score: 71.7% + 74% = 145.7% Feel free to drop your stories below. How did you get ready for it all? Any good tips for keeping composure when it feels like too much? I think it could be super helpful for anyone thinking about doing the same thing. My strategy was to study longer for the exam I figured I was weaker in (multiple months) and then review the other exam material 2 to 3 weeks prior to the exam date. Can’t wait to hear what you guys have to say and what you're total score was! Thanks @Arun Sharma for the idea for this post!

@Robbie Wyness got another survey idea for you. "how long did it take you to complete all 20 exams?" note, make sure there is an options for "less than 6 years". haha
