This Saskatchewan Polytechnic certificate 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.

You will learn the skills necessary to assemble, repair, service, and maintain all types of heavy equipment and truck/transport vehicles. Learn from experienced industry-trained instructors in our trades shop where you will receive an education placing you at the forefront of the technical curve. A two-week work experience component in an industrial setting will build on your practical skills and knowledge.

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 (SATCC). Visit saskapprenticeship.ca for more details.
