Automotive Collision & Refinish Common Core Apprentice Lvl 1 (E-pprentice) (ACRP 1102)
This E-pprentice/alternate delivery course provides the Level 1 technical training component of the Provincial Auto Body and Collision Technician apprentice program and the Automotive Refinishing Technician apprentice program. It requires only 3-weeks of on-campus training as opposed to the 7-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.
