The classroom instruction component of the Automotive Service Technician Apprenticeship training program at RDP involves traditional classroom theory delivery (may include blended learning), a variety of digital learning tools, various quizzes, examinations, and applied practical hands-on shop training.
Automotive service technicians perform preventative maintenance, diagnose faulty operations and repair automotive vehicles and light trucks.
Automotive service technicians adjust, test and repair engines, steering systems, braking systems, drive trains, vehicle suspensions, electrical systems, and air-conditioning systems, and do wheel alignments. In large shops, they sometimes specialize in repairing, rebuilding, and servicing specific parts (e.g. transmissions, engines, electrical components, etc.). In smaller shops, automotive service technicians may work on a wider variety of repair jobs.
Apprentices are expected to demonstrate progress in their apprenticeship program within 18 months by engaging in an activity that will lead to the completion of a period of the program.
