STEPS TO APPLY FOR A SPOT
1) Attend an information session either in person or virtually
2) Complete the FREE Assessment Process.
The assessment consists of a written test with grade-9 equivalent math and reading comprehension questions. Following the test, a staff member will conduct a short interview to gauge an individual’s suitability for the Heavy Equipment Operator course.
3) Receive a Letter of Acceptance
Once the assessment is complete, a letter of either acceptance or Refusal will be sent to your email. This is a compilation of the results of the assessment test and interview. If an acceptance letter is received, it is valid for a year from the initial assessment date. This allows enough time to apply for a spot in one of our HEO courses run throughout the year.
4) Secure Your Funding
Even though an acceptance letter is received, it does not mean you have a spot in a particular course. The interested student must secure funding to secure a place in an HEO course. This means paying for the course in full or having an organization send OETIM an official letter confirming the intention to pay for a student’s spot.
5) Follow Up With OETIM
Once accepted, prospective students should keep in touch with OETIM staff regarding their intentions.
We are here to help and ensure you can secure a spot in one of the HEO courses. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding the process!
