@Ray Tam I only Had 2 questions on my exam both on theoretical volume of air required for combustion it was plug the numbers they give into the formula pretty basic. However I have heard other guys getting 6 to 8 questions depending on the exam you get I'm guessing

2A2 multiple choice update
I’ve finally heard back from the certification department at TSSA (Ontario) to learn that the 2A2 exam will be switching to MC on February 1, 2024. ABSA (Alberta) will be switching on January 1, 2024. Is anyone here planning to write their 2A2 exam in the new year? Which province are you writing in?

@Robbie Wyness Yes definitely but of course that was just the one I wrote. Oddly enough a former co-worker was writing that 2A2 as well I'll have to ask if he got the same version and questions I'm certain they will have other exams wth more thermodynamics and heat engine questions as they develop their test bank.

Prerequisite to Challenge your Exams
Good morning fellow Power Engineers. I've recently received a response from TSSA (Ontario) stating that anyone new to power engineering can challenge their 4th-class exams without the need to complete an accredited course. This was news to me! To my knowledge, the other jurisdiction that allows entry-level power engineers to challenge their 4th-class exams is TSASK (Saskatchewan). This is a huge advantage to anyone too busy to attend in-person classes or who struggles with the unguided online programs offered by some colleges. Anyone in these provinces looking to break into the industry, can study the books and challenge the exams at their will! - Which province are you located in? - Are there prerequisites to challenge the 5th or 4th class exams in your jurisdiction/province? - What do you think of the requirement to complete an accredited course to be eligible to sit for these entry-level exams? * Let me know if I made a mistake with the associated jurisdiction/province name * Only 10 options available - Let me know if you are located in any of the terrirories

In manitoba ITS you can challenge any level of Power Engineer license as long as you have enough operating experience in the appropriate class of plant as lined out in the Manitoba regulations. Taking an accredited course ( SAIT)cuts the amount of steam time in half, some courses through Red River collegewill allow you to challenge your 4th and 3rd when completed. Currently in Manitoba they do not offer full-time accredited courses for 2nd or 1st class. So options are to do the SAIT course and cut steam time in half or challenge the Provincial exams. They will allow you to write the exams without all your steam time but you must present your steam hours in order to apply for your license. I challenged 3rd class exams without taking the course in 2016 and am currently challenging my 2nd class exams.
