Overview

With emphasis on motor vehicle technology, the programme combines theoretical and practical coursework that meets Ministry and Ontario College of Trades requirements for the first two levels of in-school apprenticeship training, delivered through hands-on work in transportation lab facilities. It includes two electric vehicle courses and an Ozone Depletion Prevention certificate alongside the core Motive Power Technician training. A co-op option lets students complete one term of paid work experience in the field.
