Program details

Overview

Graduates of Fanshawe’s Motive Power Technician (Diesel) program may find employment opportunities with motive power equipment manufacturers and dealers, oil companies, industrial, commercial and passenger vehicle manufacturers and dealers in servicing, parts, warranty claims, merchandising sales and insurance estimating. Graduates are also well positioned to enter the workplace in the truck and coach service technician trade and – depending upon the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) policies – may also gain credit for completion of in-school training for that particular trade.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Motive Power Technician (Diesel) 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, Cambridge English and LanguageCert Academic equivalents also accepted). Where the program is oversubscribed, Fanshawe gives priority to Ontario permanent residents and to applications received by February 1st, reviewing the remainder in order of admission-requirement achievement.

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.
