This course focuses on vehicle electrical, charging, starting, ignition and fuel systems.
Sask DLC coordinates the work placement at a local dealership.
You will learn about vehicle electronic systems, including circuit types and Ohmes Law, as well as how to diagnose and repair ignition issues including starting and charging systems and alternators. You will gain understanding of fuel system and injection components of both gasoline and diesel engines.
This is an advanced level course that requires you to demonstrate practical skills in combination with automotive repair theory.
The course consists of:
50 hours of online theory
40 to 50 hours of practical, hands-on work placement coordinated by Sask DLC at a local dealership
optional one-day learning camp at Saskatchewan Polytechnic which will count towards your 50 hours of work placement. If you choose not to attend the learning camp, all 50 hours can be completed at the work placement.
Work placements provide you the opportunity to experience the newest technology, tools and expertise being used in the industry while exploring if this trade career might be right for you. This is only possible with the support of our partner, the Saskatchewan Automotive Dealer's Association.
All students, parents and mentors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with our work placement information.
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.
