Talk:Interprovincial Standards

Changes in British Columbia's Certifications
If you look at the BC government's page for the Industry Training and Apprenticeship Act you will see that the act was repealed in 2003 and replaced with the Industry Training Authority Act (link to ITA Act).

What this means is that the qualification exam in British Columbia is no longer the red seal exam. The Industry Training Authority now issues Provincial Certificate of Qualifications (CoQ) and the employee must obtain the red seal through a separate process - although according to the ITA website, this is "without further examination"

Article Title
This may be a problem with a few articles. Is it ISO Standard or ISO Standards type thing. I would rather a wikipedian with letters.after.their.name concerning the english language standard(s) for plurals of the word 'standard' advise in this area.--Canoe1967 (talk) 20:31, 13 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Standards for 52 different trades - obviously plural. Roger (talk) 21:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The red seal in the photo says "Interprovincial Standard". Their Web site sas they do "Interprovincial Standards". Any one person writes a test to pass an Interprovincial Standard, but if you're both a cook and a welder you might have two Interprovincial Standards to your name. I think the plural is OK in the title of the article because it will be writing about the program collectively, not just one Standard.--Wtshymanski (talk) 21:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Canoe to specimen
Someone may want to Gimp my image. I made it for another purpose.--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Good idea (I can't do it, I'm bad at graphics). I really wanted to know why it said "canoe" on it (at first glance it looks like a Canoe certification program!), but I clicked through the image and see that it is a clever way to protect the identity of the actual person whose card this is. Is there some other way to show that the seal actually has numbers on it instead of the word "canoe"? Like a series of ###### or something? Or maybe just make it blank?

 * Just replace with 'licence number shows here' would probably be the best.--Canoe1967 (talk) 20:05, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Or just "00000" - it's an obvious placeholder. --Wtshymanski (talk) 20:45, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * A-12-345678 would match the format of the one I took a pic of.--Canoe1967 (talk) 21:22, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

What links here
I noticed some false hits made by a link bot. I let the bot folk know. I don't mind this at all. It is far better that bot find false hits than miss valid ones.--Canoe1967 (talk) 20:05, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
