Automotive Service Technician and Operations British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT)

Program Description

The BCIT Automotive Service Technician and Operations co-operative education diploma program prepares students to become skilled technicians who can diagnose and repair the sophisticated systems in today's vehicles. The Automotive Service Technician and Operations (ASTO) program is comprised of four hands-on, technical training terms with two paid 22-week co-op work terms in an automotive repair facility. This program offers maximum career flexibility, enabling graduates to pursue their Automotive Service Technician Red Seal certification with the option for post-diploma baccalaureate pathways in business administration and technology management. It is also for those with an interest in automotive, but who aspire to run their own business or assume customer service and management positions in the industry. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive an Automotive Service Technician and Operations Diploma and qualify for credit towards all four levels of technical training requirements in the Provincial Automotive Service Technician Apprenticeship program.
