Overview

Auto Body Technician Certificate

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

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

The program gives you a solid foundation in the knowledge and skills you’ll need to work in motor vehicle body repair and refinishing. You’ll get practical training in:

  • 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;
  • industry communications and math;
  • welding.

Hands-On Learning

You’ll learn from experienced instructors and get practical experience in Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s well-equipped auto body shops. You’ll hammer out dings, paint a vehicle, install a glass windshield, align a bumper, and more. 

You’ll also spend two weeks in an auto body repair shop getting a first-hand taste of the job.

Apprenticeship Credit

With this Saskatchewan Polytechnic credential, you may be eligible for credit toward apprenticeship training.
