The 4th Class Part A (4A) exam in Ontario

In Ontario, power engineering certification is administered by Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). The 4th 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 A (4A). Ontario uses the standardized SOPEEC papers, so a question bank keyed to the national SOPEEC syllabus applies directly.
