Overview
Because this automotive technician diploma includes a co-operative work term, graduates are well placed for roles with vehicle and equipment manufacturers and dealers, oil companies, and businesses serving industrial, commercial and passenger vehicles, spanning insurance estimating, merchandising sales, warranty claims, parts and servicing. It also positions graduates to enter the automotive service technician trade, with possible credit toward in-school training already completed, subject to Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities policy.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Motive Power Technician (Automotive) Co-op diploma requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or mature-applicant standing; applicants without a high-school diploma may instead complete Fanshawe's Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) Grade 12 equivalency certificate or the one-year Trade Fundamentals preparatory program. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Fanshawe's proficiency standard: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band under 5.5, TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with no band under 4 (79 on the pre-2026 TOEFL scale), PTE Academic 53 with no band under 45, or Duolingo 105 with no section under 95 (CAEL and Cambridge English equivalents also accepted). Fanshawe offers advanced standing to applicants who can demonstrate the required education and experience, and the program page lists no portfolio or interview requirement.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
