The 3rd Class Part B (3B) exam in Manitoba

The 3rd Class exam is written as separate papers (Part A and Part B), each 100 multiple-choice questions, 3 hours, 65% to pass. This course covers Part B (3B). Manitoba uses the standardized SOPEEC papers, so a question bank keyed to the national SOPEEC syllabus applies directly.

Is the 3rd Class Part B (3B) right for you in Manitoba?
The 3rd Class is a shift-engineer-level certification — for operating larger, higher-pressure plants and supervising junior operators.
- Arenas & ice rinks: Manitoba's Ice Facility Operator Class certificate (effective ~July 30, 2025) is the arena shift-engineer ticket — one tier below the Refrigeration Class, which also qualifies.
- Pools & aquatic centres: No power engineer ticket mandated for pool operation; a boiler over plant thresholds still needs the appropriate class.
- Requirements vary by plant size and facility — confirm what your role needs with Inspection and Technical Services.
