The Amusement Device Mechanic Policies and Procedures set out the requirements for Amusement Device Mechanics Certification in Ontario, including:

  • Important definitions
  • Information on Skills Passports
  • Certificate holders' rights
  • Privileges and obligations

Certification process

In accordance with Section 5 of Ontario Regulation 187/03: Certification and Training of Amusement Mechanics and TSSA's Amusement Device Mechanic Policies and Procedures, mechanics-in-training or mechanics who are seeking to obtain a higher certificate classification (i.e. ADM-AR, ADM-I, etc.) must submit an application for assessment.

Learn more about the process for Amusement Device Mechanic Certification. 

Skills Passports

All amusement device mechanics and mechanics-in-training must hold and maintain a Skills Passport for the scope of work they are performing.

Skills Passports includes experience and skills acquired in a number of specific areas within the amusement devices industry. These passports also allow supervising mechanics, inspectors, employers and mechanics-in-training to see which areas may require additional experience or training.


Skills Passports published by the TSSA for use by amusement device mechanics and mechanics-in-training include:

  • Amusement Ride Mechanics Skills Passport
  • Inflatable Mechanics Skills Passport
  • Go Kart Mechanics Skills Passport
  • Water Slide Mechanics Skills Passport
  • Zip Line Mechanics Skills Passport

Certification and examination applications

If you are submitting a request for certification, reinstatement or an out of province assessment, you will be required to submit the following application forms with your submission:

  • Amusement Device Mechanic Certification
  • Application for an Ontario Certificate of Qualification as an Amusement Devices Mechanic
  • Application for Amusement Device Mechanic Examination

Certificate reinstatement process

As outlined in Section 6 (5) of Ontario Regulation 187/03: Certification of Training of Amusement Mechanics, and the TSSA's Amusement Device Mechanic Policies and Procedures, amusement device mechanics must apply for reinstatement if they have failed to renew their certificate of qualification within 12 months from the date of expiry.

The TSSA assesses all applicants on an individual basis. Applicants approved for reinstatement must complete a written examination in order to qualify for reinstatement of the certificate.


Learn more about the Amusement Device Mechanic Reinstatement Certificate process.

Non-matched out of province certificate assessment

Out-of-province applicants who have completed training programs outside of their home jurisdiction, or those with existing qualifications in Ontario, may apply for an Out of Province/Certificate Assessment. 

Training providers

Training providers must be accredited by TSSA before they are eligible to provide or offer a training program to the public. In order for an individual/organization to become accredited, they must submit an Application for Accreditation as an Amusement Device Mechanic Training Provider to TSSA that meets the requirements of the Training Provider Accreditation Policy, and the curriculum requirements below.
