Overview
The Automotive Collision and Refinishing Foundation Certificate (Online Youth) introduces automotive collision repair and refinishing to British Columbia high school students through a hybrid format of scheduled and self-paced online theory combined with hands-on practical lessons delivered in a workplace, school, or VCC facility. Students learn to prime, repair, and finish damaged vehicles, building foundational skills for entry into the automotive collision trades. The programme awards a Certificate and runs eight months, with a maximum two-year completion window. It is a dual-credit offering for secondary school students, who apply through their school district's Career Programs Coordinator or administrator rather than directly to VCC. Admission requires English 10 or equivalent, or department approval, along with basic computer skills and access to an internet-connected device for the online theory components.
