Toronto, Ontario — August 14, 2017 — Collision Industry Information Assistance (CIIA) has scheduled four new classes to help unlicensed techs successfully complete Ontario’s provincial trades license exam.
CIIA will offer the Certificate of Qualification prep course in London, Toronto, Ottawa and Vaughan/Belleville. The format is four full days. Locations and details have yet to be announced for the London and Vaughan/Belleville classes.
The course in Ottawa runs on two consecutive weekends, starting on Saturday, November 4 and continuing on Sunday November 5.
