Combine three micro-credentials for a supported entry into your heavy mechanical trades career. You’ll begin with a trades sampler introduction to the trades and then develop skills in four heavy mechanical trades: truck and transport mechanic, transport trailer technician, heavy duty equipment technician and diesel engine mechanic. Upon completion of the program, you’ll qualify for your Heavy Mechanical Foundation Harmonized certificate and earn Level 1 technical training credit and work-based training hours when you register as an apprentice.
