College Diploma - Automotive Parts and Service Operations (8210) (Optional Co-op)

Automotive Parts and Service Operations is the perfect program to help students fill the need for trained support staff within the backbone of the auto industry — whether they are launching their first career, a new career, or want to round out their automotive education and skill base with an emphasis on operational management support.

The School of Transportation has worked closely with industry partners to create a program that will position students as a top candidate in an underrepresented area of the industry. The result is the first post-secondary program in Canada that will give them the knowledge and practical expertise of parts service, warranty administration, customer relations and business operations through hands-on training.

Automotive Parts and Service Operations has the full support of the Trillium Automobile Dealers Association (TADA), which represents more than 1,000 new car dealers in Ontario. As such, the program is an excellent choice for students who are just finishing high school or are a graduate of the Automotive Foundations or Techniques programs. Mature students and automotive technicians will also find this program an excellent pathway to a new career or a career change within the industry.
