Everything on this page and the pages it links to is free to read, print and share. No account, no email address, nothing to unlock. The questions are in the format of the Red Seal exam, four options and one correct answer, and each one explains why every option is right or wrong.

02Power Engineering

03Gas Technician (TSSA)
Not a Red Seal trade: Ontario's gas technician certificates are issued by TSSA, the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. The same free format, with every option explained and a printable PDF.
04Master Electrician (ESA, SCC)
Not Red Seal trades either: Ontario's Master Electrician licence is issued by ESA, the Electrical Safety Authority, after its licensing exam, and Alberta's Master Electrician certificate by the Safety Codes Council after its own two-part exam. The same free format, with original questions, every option explained and a printable PDF.
05Ontario Building Code (BCIN)
Not Red Seal exams either: the Ontario Building Code qualification exams for designers and building officials are set by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) and written online through Humber. One free page serves House 2024 and Small Buildings 2024 and another the two legal exams, General Legal/Process 2024 and Designer Legal/Process 2024, with original questions cited to the Act and the 2024 code, every option explained and a printable PDF; the study units are ours.
06313D Residential AC (Ontario)
Not a Red Seal trade either: 313D Residential Air Conditioning Systems Mechanic is an Ontario compulsory trade, and Skilled Trades Ontario sets and delivers its Certificate of Qualification exam. The full trade, 313A, is a Red Seal trade with its own free page above. The same free format, with every option explained and a printable PDF.
07Free guides
Plain-language answers to the questions people actually search for, with the numbers linked to the Red Seal Program's own pages.
08For instructors and libraries
You are welcome to link to any of these pages from a course page, library guide or resource list, and to print the question pages as handouts. The printed version shows the questions and the answer key without the explanations. Nothing here asks a student for an account or an email, and nothing on these pages is behind a paywall. If you would like the questions in another format, or have a correction, get in touch.
09Where they come from
Each question is written to one task in the Red Seal Occupational Standard for its trade, checked against primary sources, and weighted to the exam breakdown the Red Seal Program publishes. The method, and how to report a question you think is wrong, is described in how our questions are made. TicketPrep is an independent study site and is not affiliated with the Red Seal Program or any provincial apprenticeship authority. The 4th Class Power Engineering questions are written the same way to the objectives of the SOPEEC Fourth Class reference syllabus, 55 for paper A and 52 for paper B; SOPEEC publishes no per-unit weights, so they follow TicketPrep's own practice-bank split. The Ontario G3 questions are written to the nine TSSA G3 modules from public sources (Ontario's regulations, TSSA's Code Adoption Documents and manufacturers' instructions); TSSA publishes no per-module weights, so they follow TicketPrep's own split too. The Ontario Master Electrician questions are original, written to ESA's three exam sections from the OESC rule numbers and the Ontario statutes, never from the exam; ESA publishes no per-section question counts, so they follow TicketPrep's own split as well.
