Do you like working with your hands and fixing things? Consider a career as an auto mechanic.
VIU's 10-month, entry-level Automotive Service Technician program gives students the skills and knowledge they need to find work as an automotive apprentice, a trainee parts person or service advisor.
What's unique about the VIU Automotive apprenticeship is that students work in a live shop environment, applying classroom theory to real-world situations using all the latest tools and diagnostic equipment. VIU's auto mechanic program is housed in a building that mimics a real dealership. |
