CERTIFICATE in Auto Body Technician

Do you like working on cars? Want to get into the workforce quickly? Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Auto Body Technician program could be a great fit for you. The program prepares you for work in auto body shops, auto dealerships, and private garages.

The job involves bending, standing and lifting heavy equipment. But it’s also creative work—a good eye for color and detail will ensure your skills are in demand.

Auto Body Technician is a one-year certificate program offered on campus in Saskatoon and in Regina.

Note: The Regina (January) delivery of this program is marketed almost exclusively to international students with a study permit, although it may be available to domestic students as well.

• basic and advanced metalwork;
• basic and advanced painting;
• benchwork and safe working procedures;
• door servicing, glass installation and electrical systems;
• front sheet metal and plastic material repair;
