Apprentice technicians are equipped with all the skills needed to become a fully certified auto mechanic. In the Cummins Technician Apprentice Program, you will focus in one of the following specialties; Diesel Engines, High Horsepower, Marine, Power Generation, or Service Operations. From there, an apprentice can be expected to perform many different tasks a fully trained mechanic would do. The only difference is an apprentice would start off with assistance in these tasks from a trained mechanic then move to supervision and finally, in some tasks, even complete freedom.
