Trades - Apprenticeship in Truck and Transport Mechanic

Truck and Transport Mechanic is a four-year apprenticeship trade for which Saskatchewan Polytechnic delivers the in-school technical training portion in Saskatoon. Apprenticeship is an earning-while-learning arrangement: apprentices already hold a job in the trade and work under the supervision of a certified journeyperson while developing their skills through paid on-the-job training. This on-the-job training is supplemented by a required block of in-school technical training each year, covering theory, testing, and hands-on experience, scheduled as eight weeks per year across the four-year term. All apprenticeship training, including entrance requirements and start dates for specific training periods, is scheduled by the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC), with which the apprenticeship contract is registered. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, graduates are eligible to write the examination to become a certified journeyperson Truck and Transport Mechanic.
