How Automotive Technician Certification works

  • The Auto Mechanic Certification (Apprenticeship) has 4 levels
  • Each Level is approximately 180 hours of complementary training
  • A total of 6480 hours of paid, on the job experience with an employer, is also needed to obtain your trade certificate
  • You will need to pass practical assessments and a written exam at each level

In Canada the Auto Mechanic Career is a recognized trade which means that Auto Mechanic professionals, whom have obtained their status of journeymen, are able to obtain a “Red Seal” endorsement on their Certificate of Qualification. They will need to successfully complete an Inter-Provincial Standards Exam and have the correct amount of documented work based hours.

Canadian Automotive Technicians with a Red Seal designation can work anywhere in Canada. A huge and ongoing demand exists throughout North America.
