This course provides the Level 2 technical training component of the provincial Auto Body and Collision Technician apprentice program. Students learn about vehicle construction and components, corrosion protection, complex sheet metal repair and door skin replacement, aluminum MIG welding and panel repair, and refinishing environments and materials. A focus is placed on workplace organization and repair planning throughout the course. Students achieving a VCC grade of 70% or greater are eligible for the SkilledTradesBC Standardized Written Exam. The VCC training grade is blended with the SkilledTradesBC Exam mark at 80%/20% to determine an overall final grade. Students achieving a blended grade of 70% or greater are eligible to: - receive SkilledTradesBC Technical Training credit for Auto Body and Collision Technician Level 2 - advance to Auto Body and Collision Technician Level 3

This E-pprentice/alternate delivery course provides the Level 2 technical training component of the Provincial Auto Body and Collision Technician program. Using alternate delivery methods, this course requires only 2 weeks of on-campus training as opposed to the 5-week traditional course format. This is made possible with self-paced online studies, workplace assignments, and focused competency-based on-campus experience. Note: On-campus training may be delivered in multiple sessions.

This course provides the Level 3 technical training component of the provincial Auto Body and Collision Technician apprentice program. In this course students learn to prepare for structural repairs including structural measuring and component removal. Advanced welding is a focus including squeeze-type resistance spot welding (STRSW), bronze welding, and multi-position steel structural welding. Students receive hands-on training for repair, replacement, and sectioning procedures for welded-on, weld-bonded and rivet-bonded body panels. Mechanical components such as; heating, cooling, climate control, powertrain, exhaust, fuel systems and the deactivation/reactivation of alternate fuel systems are also addressed. Additionally, basic electrical component diagnosis and repair, supplemental restrain systems, pre/post-scanning, damage estimating, and final inspections are explored.
