The admission requirements and fees referred to in this guide apply to Canadian students only. International students should refer to the International Students section of the current Malaspina calendar. The Ministry considers Malaspina's program one of the best Heavy Duty Mechanics programs available in British Columbia.
Much emphasis is placed on producing students with a good work attitude.
Students will train on actual equipment and gain experience similar to what they will need at a regular work-site. A comprehensive section on hydraulics and diesel engines is included. The program prepares students for employment in the heavy duty mechanics trade. The program consists of two hours each day of classroom lectures, with the remaining time spent in the shop. Students can expect to spend at least one hour each night on homework assignments which consist of reading the material.
