310B explained. Where the 720 hours fit.

If you are exploring collision repair, you will come across the code 310B. It refers to Ontario’s Auto Body and Collision Damage Repairer trade.

Two parts of one apprenticeship

Skilled Trades Ontario describes a typical 8,000-hour apprenticeship: 7,280 hours of workplace experience and 720 hours of in-school training across three levels. The overall timeframe is approximately four years.

Workplace practice and classroom learning support each other. The 720 hours are one component, not a complete qualification on their own.

Where Elite’s proposal fits

Our application to become a Training Delivery Agent concerns the in-school component. Ministry approval is pending. The proposed training is not available for enrolment.
