From 269E Wiki

269E Wiki is an open reference for Ontario's Entertainment Industry Power Technician trade (trade code 269E) — the certified trade covering temporary power distribution and lighting for film, television, live performance, trade shows, special events, and carnivals.

This wiki is an independent, community-maintained project. It is not operated by Skilled Trades Ontario, the Electrical Safety Authority, or IATSE, and is not the authoritative record of any standard, exam, or certification. Always confirm current requirements with Skilled Trades Ontario directly.
