A wide variety of opportunities await you in the heavy equipment repair field. Individuals who possess mechanical aptitude, problem-solving abilities, can work individually and as a member of a team are well-suited to enter this lucrative trade area. Conestoga's Motive Power Technician - Heavy Duty Equipment diploma program will provide you with the opportunity to develop skills in all of these areas. With a focus on hands-on training to complement the in-class theory, you will be well-positioned to enter this high demand trade area.
In addition to the core trade-related skills, this program also prepares you to take on related roles within the heavy duty equipment industry including business development, shop and parts management; and a variety of other alternative options to a traditional technician career. The second year of the program will enable you to delve deeper into related topics such as engine failure analysis and electrical diagnostics and repair.
Qualifying students have the opportunity to engage in a paid co-operative education work term during the summer between years 1 and 2 of the program, enabling you to apply your knowledge in a practical environment. The optional co-op stream includes one co-op work term.
As a graduate of the diploma program, you will have an opportunity to receive automatic exemption from Levels 1 and 2 of the Heavy Duty Equipment Technician apprenticeship in-school training should you choose to pursue that career pathway.
Applying to the Co-op Stream
All applicants apply to the non co-op program. Students will be informed of the application deadline and process to apply for the Co-op Stream. Labour market conditions determine the number of co-op seats in optional co-op programs. Every student who meets academic eligibility requirements may not be admitted to the co-op stream.
To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum 70% session weighted average and no failed or dropped courses in Level 1.
Co-op Information
Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn while you apply what you learn in a real workplace environment. See the Co-op webpages.
The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
