Program Overview

Trucks and buses are critical to a successful economy by moving people and products to their final destinations. Train for a career that is in demand and keeps these vital modes of transportation on the road. Through a combination of hands-on activities in our state-of-the-art shops and theory-based classes, graduates from the Motive Power Techniques - Truck and Coach Repair certificate program are well-positioned to enter and be successful working in this trade area. Throughout the duration of your program, you will develop a strong foundation of technical skills needed for the truck and coach trade.
You will develop safe working practices in the use of tools, machinery, and equipment to complete the repair of engines, transmissions, drive trains and electrical/electronic components, and will apply basic communication, documentation, information technology, and computer skills to support a motive power-related work environment.
