If CAF is using public college to augment or supplement in-house training, and it can exercise a sufficient level of control on the curriculum, then that's good. Concepts such as augmentation is different than 'handing over to', and maybe I was missing the details.

In terms of actual trade certification/qualification, it has been mentioned on here before that it would be beneficial for a military trade that has a civilian equivalent to be able to certify those members so that they can carry them over to civilian life.

I realize the complication f most certifications being province-based.

That is where the Red Seal program has been important. What it really interesting are the small changes each province has or had incorporated to keep their specific chunk of the pie safe from outside recruiting for many years. Even to this day not all trades and or training are recognized across the Country. This includes Professional jobs such as Drs, Nurses Paramedics/. EMTs.

A pre-OFP school should really have very limited specific CAF content. Most of it is specific to the trade and broadly specific to the entire branch or service.

I fail to see what an AVN would learn at CFSATE that wouldn't be taught at a civilian college.

Dealing with Munitions and their systems, along with secure equipment, afterburners Other than that very little difference.
Turbines are turbines, hydraulic actuators are still actuators.
DND does not teach reciprocating engines.
But we did get taught how to use these fancy Borescopes That when I talked to a few guys outside of the Military were blown away that we even had them as they were cost prohibitive for many companies.

Heck, how much gap training do we do today for AMEs who walk in off the street?

They use to have to take the same course as everyone else. Not sure what they have done with the program.

So really, people need to stop acting like a no-hook private is getting extensive military training at CFSATE. They are mostly getting an education that is comparable to the civilian world. Borden produces a product that the fleet can then mold using fleet specific training.

That is all a Course is Trades training course is suppose to do. Is give a general skill set so the person can work in an industry safely..

Metalwork in my daughters school was basically a cheap jewellery course. Wood working was okish, automotive gone, no welding either.

If currently certified as a paramedic in another province, and wishing to "do a lateral" into Ontario,

Visit the Canadian Organization of Paramedic Regulators (COPR) which is an agreed upon comparator tool for use by Canadian paramedic practitioners. The tool is a guide to help you assess gaps that occur from province to province. Licensure of paramedics is the responsibility and domain of the various provincial regulatory bodies. Consult the provincial regulators for final decisions regarding practice.
Visit the Ontario Ministry of Health - Paramedic Equivalency Processto present your experience and qualifications on a case-by-case basis, to determine eligibility to challenge the AEMCA Theory Examination. The Equivalency Process for all applicants involves two phases - validation of educational and work experience, and qualifying evaluations.
Follow the Labour Mobility process as defined by the Ontario Ministry of Health if you require specific information on the Labour Mobility process).
Apply to a Paramedic Service for employment.
Upon successful employment you must become certified to perform specific Delegated Medical Acts under the license of an Ontario Base Hospital Medical Director.

The high school that my kids went to here in Burlington was a complete 'soup to nuts' high school. It had everything under 1 roof - IB program, French Immersion program, gifted program, regular academic program, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship program with Co-op placements and the 'Life Skill's program.

The world is more dangerous and divided. The international rules-based order is fading, and global conflict rages on. Canada’s Government is focused on what we can control: rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). In October 2025, Canada’s new government...
