Program details
Overview
This applied certificate program prepares students for entry-level roles in parts retail and distribution, covering inventory control, material handling, part applications, computerized inventory systems, parts manuals, and warehouse operations. It is delivered through flexible, self-paced online courses, with part-time and full-time study options, and runs 14 weeks full-time. The program is offered through the School of Transportation and can serve as a stepping stone toward the Parts Management Technician certificate, with completion potentially eligible for apprenticeship credit through the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission. Coursework builds skills in reading parts manuals, matching parts to customer needs, and operating computerized inventory systems used in dealership and warehouse settings. The program suits individuals seeking entry-level positions with automotive, equipment, or industrial parts suppliers and dealerships, in roles such as parts counter attendant or warehouse assistant, and provides a foundation for those planning to progress into more advanced parts-management study.
