Did you know that both employers and students benefit from the Canadian Tire-sponsored Automotive Service Technician training at Centennial College? For students, it is an opportunity to learn new skills and move up on the automotive industry. Meanwhile, John Morin, Service Manager from a Canadian Tire store explains how this undertaking benefits employers. “The benefits from an employer’s standpoint are that all the classroom training is complete,” he says. “We have a technician who is far more advanced in theory, more confident in his or her abilities and now just requires practical experience. We are able to adapt our manpower situation where we do not have a need to hire additional staff for an eight-week period (and possibly have to lay them off when the student returns to work). We have the benefit of having additional staff for the busy summer months and the new hire can attend school in the fall. This gives us a crop of well-prepared people who can advance quickly to a licensed technician.”

But how are all of the benefits actually applied with the Automotive Service Technician apprenticeship? First and foremost, the training provided is more in-depth and in-school sessions are longer than that of traditional apprenticeships. As such, students are taught by spending 32 weeks partaking in in-school training and then heading to on-the-job experience at one of Ontario’s over 190 Canadian Tire stores, for four weeks. That means that by the time students reach their employer sessions, they will already have knowledge of the field thanks to the combination of theory and practical skills they are taught at Centennial College’s Ashtonbee Campus. This location is the largest transportation training centre in the province and includes tools, real cars and a lab environment. The generic tools on which, students practice are supplied by Canadian Tire to ensure confidence and comfort once they graduate and become employed.

In addition, while in school, Automotive Service Technician Training students attend courses that are part of a provincial automotive curriculum and satisfy the knowledge necessary to become a licensed technician. These courses are: Drivetrian Sytems, Electrical/Electronic & Emmission Systems, Engine Systems, Work Practices and Procedures, Suspension/Steering and Brake Systems

To apply for this Automotive Service Technician Apprenticeship, students are required to have completed at minimum an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or GED or equivalent. They should also be employed by a Canadian Tire dealership or selected through an interview process. For this modified apprenticeship, candidates may apply directly to Centennial College. As space in the undertaking is limited, acceptance is based on successful completion of all entry requirements. Successful applicants must obtain an employer and then register as a MAP apprentice with the Apprenticeship Branch of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

Completion of the Automotive Service Technician Apprenticeship will see graduations comfortable with: maintaining and repairing cars, vans and pickup trucks by fixing engines, changing brakes, checking windshield wipers and fluid levels, and replacing mufflers, hoses, belts and plugs, you may want to consider.

The average man dreams of the day when he can tell his special lady to get a boob job and follow it up with an at home install simply by going online, ordering breast implants, and waiting a couple of weeks for delivery before busting out his tools, slicing her open, and doing a home install, but until that day your going to have to make do with treating your car like that pretty darling you wish you could take to bed tonight minus a couple ton of course. With Custom Billet Upgrades you can swap your factory built door handles, dome lights, window cranks, steering column trim, and other parts for shiny chrome and aluminum replacements that can make any descent vehicle start turning heads like Pamela Anderson running down the beach in a Baywatch swimsuit chased by a hairy man from Kazakhstan. You could buy the best car off the lot, but without Custom Billet Parts your car will be like Paris Hilton in her Bently. Flat chested and the butt of cruel jokes by people like Sarah Silverman who once said “People say ‘Pamela Anderson’s nothing without her tits!’ And that’s not true! That is ‘not’ true!… She’d be Paris Hilton” while riding in a car that high end Billet parts and accessories would transform into a thing of exterior beauty as if the driver herself got a boob job or swapped cars with Pamela Anderson. Your exterior door handles, license plates, and windshield wiper arms will look very nice, but wont need any future replacement implants or face lifts.You may be thinking so what if my ride has no special assets, it looks just fine after a few beers and a bong hit. Maybe exterior beauty doesn’t matter to you, but what about your inner beauty? Brake fluid reservoirs need love too just like window cranks and dome lights. You won’t impress a special lady with a binged out exterior and used car lot soiled cushion bling free interior. With a good foundation vehicle, Billet interior, and Billet exterior it won’t be long until the Billet Specialists at BilletBuilder.com turn your hairy Kazakh beast of a ride into a babe magnet with rock star sex appeal to make your dreams come true.
