The Ski Lift Mechanic Policies and Procedures outline requirements for Ski Lift Mechanic certification in Ontario, including:
- Important definitions
- Information on Skills Passports
- Certificate holder's rights, privileges and obligations
Certification process |
| As outlined in Ontario Regulation 222/01: Certification and Training of Elevating Device Mechanics and the Ski Lift Mechanic Policies and Procedures document, ski lift mechanics-in-training or mechanics who are seeking a higher certification classification (i.e. SLM-A, SLM-F, etc.) must submit an application for assessment that follows the Ski Lift Mechanic Certification Process. |
Skills Passports |
|
All ski lift mechanics and mechanics-in-training must hold and maintain a Ski Lift Mechanic Skills Passport for the scope of work they are performing. The Skills Passport is designed to provide a graphic representation of the experience and skills acquired in a number of specific areas within the passenger ropeway/ski lift industry. In addition to being a requirement for certification, the document also serves to point supervising mechanics, inspectors, employers and mechanics-in-training toward areas requiring additional experience. |
Reinstatement process |
|
As outlined in Ontario Regulation 222/01 and the Ski Lift Mechanic Policies and Procedures document, ski lift mechanics and mechanics-in-training must apply for reinstatement if they have failed to renew their certificate of qualification within 12 months from the date of expiry. TSSA assesses all applicants on an individual basis. Applicants approved for reinstatement of a Ski Lift Mechanic certificate (i.e. SLM-A, SLM-F) must also complete a written examination in order to qualify for reinstatement of the certificate. |
Non-matched out-of-province certificate assessment |
| As outlined in the Ski Lift Mechanic Policies and Procedures document, out-of-province applicants who have completed a training program(s) in their home jurisdiction or those with existing qualifications in Ontario may apply for an Out-of-Province Certificate assessment. |

If you are submitting a request for certification, reinstatement or an out of province assessment, you must submit the following forms: |
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 that meets established accreditation and curriculum requirements. |
