7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

After the Automotive Technician Certificate course, I went through the three-year apprenticeship program. It was a good chance for me to learn hands on. During my apprenticeship I didn't know exactly what I was going to do but I knew it would involve the automotive trade.

My career plan continues to evolve because nothing's set in stone. I'm thinking of opening my own shop, perhaps fixing and selling pre-owned vehicles. I need experience to do that and being a licensed ASE certified technician will help with that.

Note: ASE is the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, a non-profit organization offering courses and exams to certify automotive mechanics.
