Program details

Overview

Learn the knowledge and skills to work effectively as automotive service advisors or automotive parts persons. Students will develop a strong foundation for future management roles within the industry.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants need Grade 12 graduation or equivalent, Composition 12 with a minimum "C-" grade, and Workplace Math 10 with a minimum "C-" grade, or equivalents; those missing a prerequisite can arrange a department assessment with the Automotive department head. The page states no English-proficiency test score (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL). It is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents (international applicants are directed to VCC International), aged 16 or older or a secondary-school graduate, submitting official transcripts and other required documents; a complete application needs the form, evidence of the academic prerequisites, supporting documents and the required fee or deposit. Seats go to eligible applicants in order of completed application. The program also expects basic computer skills, good general health, physical strength for handling parts and equipment, tolerance for noise and vibration, manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination and normal colour vision.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through EducationPlannerBC. VCC publishes each programme's own application window, term by term, on its When to Apply page rather than one college-wide date: windows open roughly six to twenty months before the term starts and close on a stated date, though popular programmes can close earlier once seats fill, since places generally go to eligible applicants in the order their application is completed. International applicants use the International Applicant option on EducationPlannerBC; VCC opens international applications on 1 February of the previous year for Winter entry, 1 June for Spring/Summer, and 1 October for Fall, with no fixed closing date — applications continue until roughly three to four months before the term begins or until it fills, so admission is effectively rolling for international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
