Auto Body and Collision Technician Apprentice Level 2 (E-pprentice) (ACAP 2003)

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.

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.
