Introduction
Foreword
The revised Construction Boilermaker Program Outline is intended as a guide for instructors, apprentices
and employers of apprentices as well as for the use of industry organizations, regulatory bodies, and
provincial and federal governments. It reflects updated standards based on the new Construction
Boilermaker Occupational Analysis (2012) and British Columbia industry and instructor subject matter
experts.
Practical instruction by demonstration and student participation should be integrated with the classroom
session. Safe working practices, even though not always specified in each operation or topic, are an
implied part of the program and should be stressed throughout the apprenticeship.
The program outline was prepared with the advice and assistance of the Construction Boilermaker
Governance Committee. It will form the basis for further updating of the British Columbia Boilermaker
Program by the British Columbia Construction Industry Training Organization on behalf of the Industry
Training Authority.
Practical exercises are included for those competencies that require a practical component. The intent of
including practical exercises is to ensure consistency in training across the many training institutions in
British Columbia. Their purpose is to reinforce the theory and to provide a mechanism for evaluation of
the learners ability to apply the theory to practice. It is important that these performances be observable
and measureable and that they reflect the skills spelled out in the competency as those required of a
competent journeyperson. The conditions, under which these performances will be observed, as well as
the criteria by which the learner will be evaluated and measured, must be clear to the learner. The learner
must also be given the level of expectation of success.
SAFETY ADVISORY
Be advised that references to the WorkSafeBC safety regulations contained within these materials do
not/may not reflect the most recent Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (the current
Standards and Regulation in BC can be obtained on the following website:

materials to inform him/herself about the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation pertaining to
his/her work.
