The Auto Body Repair Technician program is a two-year offering that will open the doors to a career in the auto body industry and could lead to a managerial position or to graduates successfully operating their own business.
Students will spend approximately 40 per cent of their schedule gaining hands-on practice in a spacious and well laid out state-of-the-art auto body lab outfitted with new equipment. In this lab, students learn from faculty members with years of industry experience who are committed to seeing learners succeed and to helping to maximize their skills.
As a Graduate, in two years students will have earned an Ontario College Diploma and the first two levels of in-class education in the Auto Body and Collision Damage Repair Apprenticeship. Students will then be ready to start their journey as a registered Apprentice, which will prepare them to return to school for their level 3 on a traditional apprenticeship.
