Auto Body Apprenticeship
In British Columbia, upon successful graduation of our Auto Body Repair Technician Pre-Apprenticeship program, students may get credit toward their first level of apprenticeship by contacting the Industry Training Authority (ITA). They may also get some hours credited towards their Auto Body Apprenticeship; that determination is to the discretion of their Auto Body Employers. This is how the Auto Body Apprenticeship works:
- The Auto Body Apprenticeship has 3 levels
- Each Level is approximately 150 hours of complementary training
- You will need to complete 6750 workplace hours (approximately 3-4 years)
- You will need to pass practical assessments and a written exam at each level
In Canada the Auto Body Career is a recognized trade which means that Auto Body 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.
The Interprovincial Standards "Red Seal" provides the ability to Auto Body Journeymen to work in any Canadian Province or territory.
