General Learning Outcome: Upon successful completion, the apprentice is able to select and utilize rigging, hoisting, and lifting equipment according to regulatory and job requirements and in keeping with Safe Working Load guidelines.

2. Codes and Standards 2 (24 hrs: 24 theory / 0 practical)

Prerequisites: Level 1 Reportable 2, Level 1 Reportable 5

Cross-references: 5355.04, 5355.06, 5356.02, 5356.05, 5356.07, 5357.02, 5357.06, 5359.02, 5359.04

General Learning Outcome: Upon successful completion, the apprentice is able to demonstrate specific knowledge of the general rules of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), recognize differences in the Ontario Electrical Code (OEC), reference and use tables, diagrams, and appendices, and demonstrate familiarity with supplementary and amendatory sections as related to the entertainment industry.

3. Electronics 1 (21 hrs: 9 theory / 12 practical)

Prerequisites: Level 1 Reportable 5

Cross-references: 5355.01, 5355.02 (the source document also lists three codes here — 5076.05, 5077.05, 5076.03 — that don't match the 269E skill-set numbering scheme and appear to be an error in the original)

General Learning Outcome: Upon successful completion, the apprentice is able to identify, layout, and connect resistors, light emitting diodes, transistors, logic gates, and opto-couplers in circuits according to drawing specifications, using circuit boards and bench tools to produce and troubleshoot component assemblies.

4. Lighting Technology 1 (24 hrs: 8 theory / 16 practical)

Prerequisites: Level 1 Reportable 4, Level 1 Reportable 5

Cross-references: 5353.03, 5355.01, 5355.02, 5356.02, 5358.01, 5358.04, 5358.05, 5358.08

General Learning Outcome: Upon successful completion, the apprentice is able to specify luminaires for specific applications, and, using data sheets, describe the characteristics of their light output, describe their electrical characteristics, and calculate demand loads of lighting layouts.

5. Electrical Theory 2 (33 hrs: 33 theory / 0 practical)

Prerequisites: Level 1 Reportable 5

Cross-references: 5353.03, 5355.04, 5356.07, 5359.03

General Learning Outcome: Upon successful completion, the apprentice is able to calculate circuit values for two- and three-wire distribution systems; describe the characteristics of primary and secondary cells; describe magnetic lines of force and their characteristics; describe magnetic flux; solve problems associated with magnetic energy; explain Ohm's Law as applied to magnetic circuits; describe the relationship between magnetism and EMF; and apply Fleming's hand rules and Lenz's law.
