Automotive Service Technician – Level I Apprenticeship
SD43’s TRAIN in Trades Program means that students have an amazing opportunity to gain level 1 technical training while still in high school. All the training programs are dual credit, meaning students gain high school and post secondary credits (with some gaining a third/industry credit with the ITA towards trade certification).
Automotive Service Technician - Level I Apprenticeship
This post-secondary program is part of the ITA’s “Youth TRAIN in Trades” program and is open to grade 12 students intending to pursue a career as a Red Seal Certified AST. Students completing this full semester, dual credit, four course program, will receive 16 credits toward graduation and could qualify to write the Standardized Level I assessment exam. A 70% grade on this exam will allow the student to progress to Level II training, when requirements for Apprenticeship training hours are met.
This program is designed for motivated students with a career focus and provides excellent Apprenticeship placement advantages for successful students. Enrollment in this program will be limited to 18 students per year, and admission will be granted through an application process which includes an interview and a review of attendance records and will require a recommendation from the student’s Automotive Technology 12 instructor.
