Course Information

This program gives you an understanding of the basic purpose, construction, operation, and service of component parts and assemblies of an automobile.

You will develop the knowledge and skills required to disassemble, inspect, diagnose and repair motor vehicle units and components. You will study internal combustion engines, brakes, steering and suspensions, electrical circuits & wiring, and basic vehicle maintenance.

Most training will take place at RRC’s auto mechanics workshop, an environment that will give you the practical experience required for industry employment.

This is a not an apprenticeship program, but may provide credit transfer opportunities towards apprenticeship. The Government of Manitoba, Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade offers apprenticeship training that combines on-the-job practical skills development with levels of technical training.
