Centennial College's Truck and Coach Pre-Apprenticeship is a transition step to finding an apprenticeship.
During the tuition-free, Government of Ontario-funded offering, you'll prepare to work in the trucking industry, earn Level 1 apprenticeship training, receive assistance in finding a short-work placement and get on-the-job experience in Canada.
The Truck and Coach Pre-Apprenticeship program, which Centennial College's School of Transportation facilitates, will be presented in three phases:
- Phase 1 - Introductory Skills: Running for 12 weeks (March-June), this phase will include preparation for truck and coach training, job readiness skills, workplace communications, technical writing and mathematical skills required for the transportation field.
- Phase 2 - Technical Skills: Taking 12 weeks (June-August) to complete, this will be the Truck and Coach Technician Level 1 training portion of the program, which will cover engines, fuels, electrical, suspension, steering, powertrain, brakes and a course called Introduction to Parts Technician.
- Phase 3 - Work Placement: Twelve weeks (September-November) in total, during this phase you'll apply your skills to a workplace.
