Restrictions on advertising and soliciting

$2,000 per day

(doubled for second contravention)

Penalty of $2,000 per day is upheld. The penalty accumulated form December 17, 2012 to January 2, 2013 (inclusive).

The balance of the evidence indicates that Sasa Ristic, operating as Signal Truck & Forklift Driving School, was advertising an unregistered private career college and an unapproved AZ Truck Driving program.

Sasa Ristic was registered as a private career college prior to the expiry of its registration on August 28, 2010. Sasa Ristic has also been subject to previous enforcement action by the Superintendent for failure to comply with section 11 of the Act: a Restraining Order issued on May 30, 2011, and a Notice of Contravention issued on May 30, 2011. As such, evidence indicates that Sasa Ristic was aware of the requirements

Prohibition against operating a private career college.

$2,000 per day


Penalty of $2,000 per day is upheld. The penalty accumulated from December 17, 2012 to January 2, 2013 (inclusive).

The balance of the evidence indicates that Sasa Ristic, operating as Signal Truck & Forklift Driving School, was operating an unregistered private career college.

As Sasa Ristic was previously registered as a private career college and subject to prior enforcement action, including penalties for contravening subsection 7 (1) of the Act, evidence indicates that the School was aware of the requirements to register with the Superintendent prior to operating a private career college.


PCCA, 2005, s. 8 (1)

Prohibition against offering or providing unapproved vocational programs.

$3,000 per day

(tripled for third contravention)

Penalty of $3,000 per day is upheld. The penalty accumulated from December 17, 2012 to January 2, 2013 (inclusive).

The balance of the evidence indicates that Sasa Ristic, operating as Signal Truck & Forklift Driving School, was offering an unapproved AZ Truck Driving program.

As set out under subsection 9 (2) of Ontario Regulation 415/06, AZ truck training is not exempt from program approval because Policy Directive #5 – Tractor-Trailer (AZ) Driver Program Approval Requirements, issued by the Superintendent on August 13, 2010, requires all AZ truck driver programs provided by private career colleges to be 200 hours in duration or more.

As Sasa Ristic was previously registered as a private career college and subject to prior enforcement action, including penalties for contravening subsection 8 (1) of the Act, evidence indicates that the School was aware of the requirements to register and obtain program approval prior to offering unapproved vocational programs.

Original penalty: $51,000

Review Decision:

Penalty following review: $51,000

PCCA, 2005, s. 46

Failure to comply with an order of the Superintendent

$2,000 (one time penalty)


One time penalty of $2,000 per day is upheld.

Evidence indicates that Sasa Ristic, operating as Signal Truck & Forklift Driving School, failed to comply with the Restraining Order issued by the Superintendent on May 30, 2011, after providing written confirmation of compliance on June 28, 2011 in response to the Order. By advertising an unapproved vocational program and an unregistered private career college, the School failed to comply with the requirements of the May 30th, 2011 Restraining Order.

Evidence also indicates that Sasa Ristic, operating as Signal Truck & Forklift Driving School, failed to comply with the Restraining Order issued by the Superintendent on October 18, 2011. The Restraining Order required Sasa Ristic to stop contravening sections 7, 8 (1) and 9 (1) of the Act. Given the findings above that Sasa Ristic, operating as Signal Truck & Forklift Driving School, has contravened sections 7 (1) and 8 (1) of the Act, the School failed to comply with the requirements of the October 18, 2011 Restraining Order.


Total: Total penalties following review: $121,000

The penalty will resume accumulating daily from date of decision (November 26, 2014) until the Ministry receives written confirmation of compliance with the Act and its regulations.

issued on August 26, 2011 for A class

driver training which combined, totaled

$1,298.

On September 13, 2011, the Designate

spoke with the student who received

these receipts who confirmed their

authenticity. The student stated that Mr.

Ristic told him that: he could get an A

class licence in 2-3 weeks and would

receive unlimited training for $3,000;

that he received training from Mr. Ristic

between August 8 and August 25; and

that classes were generally delivered

between Monday-Friday for 1 hour per

day.

On September 15, 2011 the Designate

phoned Mr. Ristic and spoke with him

about the tractor trailer training he was

providing. Mr. Ristic acknowledged that

he had trained students during the

month of August, but refused to provide

the Designate with contact information

for those students.

As the School’s A class licence training

occupation included in National

Occupational Code 7411- Truck

Drivers.

Evidence supports that Signal Driving

School was aware of the legislative

requirements to register and obtain

program approval prior to advertising or

offering a vocational program.

As Signal Driving School was a

registered private career college from

October 2008 to August 2010, evidence

indicates that the School was aware of

the requirement to register and obtain

program approval prior to advertising

and/or providing a vocational program.

Evidence indicates that, after voluntarily

ceasing its registration as a private

career college, the School intended to

continue its operations without having

to comply with the Act.

Schedule “A”

Detailed Reasons and Findings Contravention of section 11 of the Act - Restrictions on advertising and soliciting On May 20, 2011, a Designate of the Superintendent reviewed the website belonging to Signal Driving School (“School”), http://www.signalwindsor.com and found it to be advertising an “ACZ Professional Driving Course”. The cost and duration of the course were not listed on the website, but a phone number (519-991-4444) and address (2679 Howard Ave, Windsor, ON N8X3X2) were. The “services” page of the website contains the statement “Note: NOT A VOCATIONAL PROGRAM - This program does not require approval under Private Career Colleges Act, 2005”. The Designate proceeded to phone the School at 519-991-4444 and spoke with Sasha, who identified himself as being the School’s operator. The Designate asked about the School’s AZ program. Sasha stated that the course costs $2,950 and includes air brake training, unlimited in truck training, and unlimited use of the truck for road tests. Given the “unlimited” nature of the truck training, the Designate came to the reasonable conclusion that the school’s AZ program exceeds the duration exemption of under 40 hours as per section 9 (1) of Ontario Regulation 415/06 made under the Act. The Designate then asked if this course was reduced in cost. Sasha advised that it is currently 60% off which translates to a total cost of $1,180 which exceeds the cost exemption of under $1,000 as per section 9 (1) of Ontario Regulation 415/06 made under the Act. The Designate also asked if the School is still located on Windsor Ave. Sasha advised that the School is moving to 1160 Central Ave, Windsor Ontario. The ACZ Professional Driving Course corresponds to National Occupational Classification (NOC) code 7411 - Truck Drivers. Based on the evidence gathered this course fits the definition of a vocational program requiring approval of the Superintendent according to the Act. Since this program is not approved, advertising of same is prohibited in accordance with Section 11 of the Act. Contravention of section 8(1) of the Act - Prohibition against providing vocational programs On May 20, 2011, a Designate of the Superintendent reviewed the website belonging to Signal Driving School (“School”), http://www.signalwindsor.com and found it to be advertising an “ACZ Professional Driving Course”. The cost and duration of the course were not listed on the website, but a phone number (519-991-4444) and address (2679 Howard Ave, Windsor, ON N8X3X2) were. The

“services” page of the website contains the statement “Note: NOT A VOCATIONAL PROGRAM - This program does not require approval under Private Career Colleges Act, 2005”. The Designate proceeded to phone the School at 519-991-4444 and spoke with Sasha, who identified himself as being the School’s operator. The Designate asked about the School’s AZ program. Sasha stated that the course costs $2,950 and includes air brake training, unlimited in truck training, and unlimited use of the truck for road tests. Given the “unlimited” nature of the truck training, the Designate came to the reasonable conclusion that the school’s AZ program exceeds the duration exemption of under 40 hours as per section 9 (1) of Ontario Regulation 415/06 made under the Act. The Designate then asked if this course was reduced in cost. Sasha advised that it is currently 60% off which translates to a total cost of $1,180 which exceeds the cost exemption of under $1,000 as per section 9 (1) of Ontario Regulation 415/06 made under the Act. The Designate also asked if the School is still located on Windsor Ave. Sasha advised that the School is moving to 1160 Central Ave, Windsor Ontario. The Designate also spoke with Sasha about the delivery of the program and the number of students currently enrolled. Sasha advised that the classes are very small, and are done is groups of 2-3. He stated that he has 2-3 students right now. The Designate also asked how payments could be made. Sasha said that $1,000 must be paid up front, but that the remaining fees could be paid in instalments. By providing an unapproved vocational program, the School is acting in contravention of section 8 (1) of the Act. Contravention of section 7 of the Act - Prohibition against operating a private career college

Under section 7(2) of the Act, no person shall hold themselves out as the operator of a private career college unless the person is registered. Under the Act, if an institution provides one or more vocational programs to students for a fee they are by definition a private career college. The following evidence has formed the basis for the Designates reasonable belief that Sasha Ristic is holding himself out to be the operator of a private career college:

the evidence offered in the previous section clearly indicates that the School is advertising and offering vocational programs for a fee;

the website http://www.signalwindsor.com provides the School’s address, phone number and e-mail address;

during a May 20, 2011 conversation with a Designate, Sasha advised that he is the School’s operator;

during a May 20, 2011 conversation with a Designate, Sasha advised that the School if offering and providing vocational programs;

According to ONBIS, the business name Signal Driving School was registered to Sasha Ristic as a sole proprietor on March 24, 2005. The registration expired on May 20, 2011.

By advertising unapproved vocational programs, offering or providing vocational programs, and stating that he is the operator of an unregistered private career college, Sasha Ristic has held himself out to be the operator of a private career college in contravention of section 7 of the Act. Previous Efforts to Obtain Compliance Had No Effect On October 31, 2008, Sasha Ristic registered as a private career college with the business name Signal Driving School. On August 28, 2010, Sasha Ristic’s registration expired due to the fact that he did not submit an application for renewal. On September 10, 2010, the Manager of the Private Career Colleges Branch’s Registration Unit sent a letter to Sasha Ristic advising of the expiry, and instructing him to, among other things, stop advertising, offering, or providing vocational programs. On October 25, 2010, the Private Career Colleges branch received a letter from Sasha Ristic in which he claimed that he is not providing vocational training that requires approval under the Act. On February 21, 2011, Sasha Ristic sent an e-mail to a Designate in which he described several courses that he intended to offer to ask if they require approval under the Act. Each course was 8 hours in duration, and no AZ program was listed On February 24, 2011, a Designate sent an e-mail to Sasha Ristic confirming that the programs about which he had enquired do not require approval, but also stated that Mr. Ristic must not offer any vocational programs. On March 7, 2011, a Designate received a tip that the School has been holding itself out to be a private career college. Despite having been previously registered and receiving several communications from the Ministry regarding their legal obligations, the School was found to be operating in contravention of the Act.

Tractor-Trailer (AZ) Driver Training Standard As of August 13, 2010, Tractor-Trailer training schools that offer vocational programs leading to the AZ driver licensing must adhere to the Superintendent's Policy Directive #5 and Tractor-Trailer (AZ) Driver Training Standard that prescribes program standards for training programs leading to AZ driver licensing. Both documents are available on the Ministry’s public website at: http://www.tcu.gov.on.ca/pepg/audiences/pcc/superintendent.html Pursuant to section 53 (1) of the Private Career Colleges Act, 2005, the Superintendent has the authority to override the 40 hours of exemption through issuing a policy directive that prescribes program duration. In order to offer Tractor-Trailer AZ driver training at a private institution in Ontario, you must be registered as a private career college and have your program approved by the Superintendent. Policy Directive #5 requires a Tractor-Trailer AZ driver programs to include at least 200 hours of instruction and be in compliance with the standards set out by the Ministry. All future PCC operators must adopt the required Tractor-Trailer (AZ) Driver Training Standard by August 31, 2011 Legal and Operating Entities According to ONBIS, the business name Signal Driving School was registered to Sasha Ristic as a sole proprietor on March 24, 2005. The registration expired on May 20, 2011. When Sasha Ristic was registered as a private career college, the business name on file was “Signal Driving School”.
