Foundation Certificate in Automotive Service Technician

Program Overview

This program consists of Foundation and Level 1 Automotive Service Technician Technical training as per SkilledTradesBC prescribed curriculum. This program meets the SkilledTradesBC prerequisite for Level 2 technical training. Automotive Service Technician is a nationally designated trade under the Interprovincial Red Seal program.

Automotive Service Technicians examine, test and repair the parts and systems on cars and light trucks. They often use computerized diagnostic equipment to test, adjust and repair key vehicle components such as engines, steering systems, braking systems, drive trains, vehicle suspensions and electrical systems. The work of an Automotive Service Technician also involves reassembling and testing repaired items against manufacturers’ standards, as well as performing preventative maintenance such as wheel alignments, oil changes and tune-ups.

Successful completion of the Automotive Service Technician Foundation Program results in the student acquiring credit for Level 1 AST technical training and 450 workbased hours, and eligibility to move into Level 2 Apprenticeship training once they have a sponsor.
