Work practicum

Note: A grade of C in each course is required to progress in, and graduate from, the Automotive Service Technician program.

Students who meet all program-specific practicum eligibility criteria will qualify to participate in an eight-week practicum placement.

Work practicum is a mandatory component of this program. Students must meet all program eligibility criteria to qualify for practicum. MITT does not guarantee practicum placements when students do not meet eligibility criteria (including having a valid co-op work permit) or when sufficient placements are not available. In such situations, MITT will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.

Apprenticeship

Students who successfully complete the accredited program with an accumulative average of 70 per cent 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 Apprenticeship Manitoba Level 1 in-school technical training and 900 hours in the Automotive Service Technician Apprenticeship program.

Continuous Program Improvement

MITT continuously reviews and improves programs to maintain relevance in the workplace and effective learning experiences for all students. Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
