The Truck and Coach – Motive Power Technician program will combine theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience to prepare students for the truck and coach field — one of the economy’s largest industries.
To ensure students are career-ready, Truck and Coach Technician courses will emphasize applied mechanics and vehicle dynamics as well as component design and repair. In addition to the traditional trade subject areas, students receive advanced instruction in areas such as HVAC (refrigeration), preventative maintenance and fixed operations management. English and general education will also be included. This combined selection of courses is designed to prepare learners to be an employer’s candidate of choice.
Because the program is based on the Truck and Coach Technician apprenticeship curriculum standards, students meet the requirements for Level 1 and 2 in-school apprenticeship training. Learners will also be able to work in many different areas of the truck and coach industry, including in a repair facility as an apprentice, in administrative/managerial roles and with parts departments/suppliers.
What You’ll Learn
- Analyze, diagnose, and solve various truck and coach power system problems by using problem-solving and critical thinking skills and strategies and by applying fundamental knowledge of truck and coach operation, components and their interrelationships.
