The SaskPolytech Heavy Equipment and Truck and Transport Technician program is designed to give you basic training in two high-demand mechanical trades at once. Heavy duty equipment technicians work on large mobile equipment—bulldozers, cranes, graders, loaders and earthmovers used in construction, mining, forestry and more. Truck and transport mechanics work on trucks, buses and highway transport vehicles for dealers, garages and transportation companies.

Students will learn the skills necessary to assemble, repair, service and maintain all types of Heavy Equipment and Truck/Transports through a combination of classroom instruction and hands on shop time. The course also includes a two week on the job work experience component in an industrial setting upon completion of the classroom time. Students may apply for Level 1 and 2 Technical Training credit and trade time upon indenturing as an apprentice with the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission in one of the above trades.

Note: This certificate is issued by Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
