Each syllabus covers the subjects, a brief description of the material in each subject, and the recommended textbooks for each examination. You may be required to write any number of examinations in this area depending on the academic level at which you are accepted into the program and on your chosen discipline. You may be required to write any number of Complementary Studies examinations. While the subject descriptions in the attached Syllabi are brief and are only meant to broadly outline the subject material listed, the prime texts, in whole or in part, have been selected for their detailed coverage of the material. Supplementary texts listed may also be useful.
Every attempt is made to keep the references current.
Texts may be revised after the May and November examination sessions as a part of the examination review and it is your responsibility to ensure you have the current recommended texts. Please note that it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to order textbooks not in stock and that it is your responsibility to get your own books. In a limited number of examinations, certain parts of the subject matter are not covered in the textbooks. Only one old examination paper is available for each subject and may be purchased for a nominal fee by using the attached Old Technical Examination Order Form. The Board wishes to caution applicants against relying too heavily on the old examinations as an indication of what to expect.
