By enrolling in our Auto Mechanics program, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills necessary for a career in the $7 billion motor vehicle industry – and it’s a busy one. In our program, you’ll pick up the theory of auto repair as well as hands on training while performing selected repairs and you’ll also have an opportunity to receive training on the state-of-the-art Hunter DSP 600 laser targeted alignment machine.
Students who successfully complete the 5 month classroom training will be eligible to participate in either a 4 month paid co-op program or 4 month unpaid practicum experience. This placement in a local workplace will provide students with on-the-job training experience as well as hours to be put toward the Apprenticeship Manitoba Level 1.
MITT does not guarantee practicum placements and, in such situations, the Institute will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.
Students who successfully complete the accredited program with an accumulative average of 70% or better in the trade subjects and level for which the program was accredited, gain employment and register as an apprentice within two years of graduating, will receive credit for Level 1 in-school technical training and 900 hours in the Automotive Service Technician Apprenticeship program.
