Automotive Foundations

Note: All transportation programs will take place on campus starting Fall 2022.

The Trades Foundations - Motive Power program will provide you with an opportunity to prepare to meet the English communications assessment entry point for a Motive Power program in the School of Transportation.

You'll learn about a variety of passenger, commercial and heavy duty equipment vehicles through the study of component identification, shop safety practices, tool identification and the use of specialized equipment. The development of sound communication and mathematical skills, within a trade context, will also be emphasized. Throughout the program, you'll be able to apply theoretical knowledge to hands-on, practical work on a variety of training units, vehicles and equipment in a lab environment.

Program Highlights

• Trade Foundations will provide an alternate entry offer and academic support if you test below the English assessment level required for a diploma program.
• The program will offer a solid foundation of communication and math skills as well as the motor vehicle knowledge to enhance your academic success when you transfer into a School of Transportation diploma program.
