Students will study automotive safety, systems and repair, including vehicle lifts, brakes, hydraulics and diagnostics.
Sask DLC coordinates the work placement at a local dealership.
Students will learn automotive safety procedures and equipment, handling hazardous materials, vehicle lifting techniques, brake systems and hydraulics and using service information for diagnostics and repairs. You may also explore advanced topics like anti-lock brakes, wheel bearings, suspension, steering systems, and wheel alignment for further specialization.
The course consists of:
50 hours of online theory
50 hours of practical, hands-on work placement coordinated by Sask DLC in a local business
Optional learning camp at Saskatchewan Polytechnic (typically held in December) which will count towards your 50 hours of work placement. If students choose not to attend the learning camp, all 50 hours can be completed at the work placement.
We recommend students and families review Sask DLC's work placement policy. Work placements provide students with an opportunity to see if a trade might be right for them. This is only possible with the support of our partner the Saskatchewan Automotive Dealers Association.
We will do our best to find a local work placement; however, we may not be able to accommodate placements in all situations, and/or some travel may be required.
Travel is at the student’s expense. If you have questions about work placements or Sask DLC courses, email helpdesk@saskDLC.ca or call our main office at 306-252-1000.
