"Option B : Enter the trade as an apprentice.
There are three different apprenticeship programs for hoisting engineers in Ontario, each requiring an in-school and on-the-job component. You can receive credit for previous training and work experience. You will receive a letter of completion from your employer of record when you successfully complete your apprenticeship. Branch 1, Mobile Crane Operators, or 339A Crane Operators, require:
Two six-week terms of school –to study the fundamentals of safety, equipment characteristics and operational practices that apply to mobile cranes, and get hands-on practice in the basic skills of mobile crane operation and maintenance, plus
6,000 hours (at least three years, up to six years) of on-the-job apprenticeship training.
Branch 2, Mobile Crane Operators, or 339C Mobile Crane operators require:
A six-week term of school to study operations plus
1,000 hours (six months to a year) of on-the-job apprenticeship training.
Branch 3, Tower Crane Operators, or 339B Tower Crane Operators, require:
one six-week term of school which provides the fundamentals of safety, equipment characteristics and operational practices that apply to tower cranes, plus hands-on practice in hammerhead / fixed jib and luffing jib tower crane operation and maintenance.
4,000 hours (at least two years) of on-the-job apprenticeship training.
3. When you have completed either Option A or Option B (with a letter of completion), and have paid the required fee, apply to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to write the trade exam to receive your Certificate of Qualification (C of Q).
4. When you pass the trade exam (you need a grade of 70% or higher), you will receive a C of Q.
5. Operators must have a driver’s license classified A-Z or D-Z, which allows them to drive vehicles larger than passenger cars and equipped with air brakes on public roadways. "
You can also take some of the terms above (crane operator, apprenticeship, etc) and contact colleges in Toronto (Seneca college, etc) asking them whether they offer that program.
