Revised
First Class Examination Syllabus
The change is so substantial that examination papers already successfully completed
in the Old First Class syllabus cannot be integrated into the Revised First Class
syllabus.
Starting September 1, 2006, both the Old and Revised First Class examination will
be concurrently available for 5 years. By the end of August 2011, the Old First Class
syllabus will be removed. This will give examination candidates, who have qualified
to continue under the Old First Class syllabus, ample time to finish their examinations
and earn their certificate.
Examination candidates who have passed one or more examination papers on the old syllabus
have asked if they can switch to the revised syllabus. The answer is yes, however,
the candidates will lose the examination papers that they have successfully passed.
A number of these candidates have decided to switch to the revised syllabus based
on the fact that the Revised First Class syllabus has a broader and more practical
knowledge base such as safety, loss and environmental program management, inspection,
maintenance and repair practices and business and workforce management. Such knowledge
will equip the first class power engineer with the necessary knowledge base to make
better decisions in dealing with their work responsibilities.
Due to the change of scope of the Revised First Class syllabus, candidates writing
the Revised 1B1 examination paper will require knowledge in ASME Section IX and Part
UW of ASME Section VIII Div.1, ASME/ANSI B31.1 Pressure Piping and B31.3 Process Piping
codes.A set of ASME code books will be provided in the Edmonton examination centre
until the ASME Academic Extract produced by PanGlobal provides the additional information.
