Industry Development

The ADAS Calibration course is part of a comprehensive training program designed to equip automotive and collision technicians with the knowledge and skills to accurately diagnose, repair and calibrate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This hands-on course provides detailed on-vehicle activities using the latest industry-specific diagnostic and calibration equipment. ADAS technology promotes the principles of the green economy and clean transportation by improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, preventing accidents, optimizing traffic flow, supporting electric vehicles, reducing accidents & the number of vehicles entering scrap yards and facilitating infrastructure planning. As these systems continue to advance, they will play an increasingly vital role in achieving a greener and more sustainable transportation ecosystem.  Prerequisite(s) – Automotive service, collision technician or level-3 equivalent apprentice. 

Analyze advanced modelling using GIS technology with practical hands-on skills that align with industry demands in senior level employment. You will gain exposure to the latest technology and subscription-based solutions and learn Esri-based solutions that are applicable in a wide range of industries. Recommended Experience If you do not have previous experience in GIS, it is strongly recommended that you complete GIS501 - Introduction to GIS: Geospatial Data microcredential before enrolling in other GIS microcredentials. This microcredential is for those who have completed introductory- and intermediate-level GIS courses and want advanced technical knowledge and skills. Opportunity to build on your GIS microcredential This microcredential is part of a suite of five GIS microcredentials. You can pursue one or more microcredentials in the Geospatial Data Collection Analysis and Interpretation using GIS Technology program.

The Diesel Exhaust Emissions Reduction Systems microcredential covers the latest technologies employed in light and heavy-duty emission reduction systems and is developed for diesel and heavy-equipment technicians, as well as for related Trades to diagnose and repair after treatment systems. Participants will begin with a brief review of emission reduction theory and the tiers of emission control and then will examine the operation, control strategies, and diagnostic procedures for diesel after treatment systems. Participants will then apply this knowledge to diagnose and repair Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) systems, as well as Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) systems. 

The Digital Process Automation microcredential will prepare you to bring digital automation to your workplace. This microcredential will introduce you to the tools and techniques used to automate many office-related tasks, with a particular focus on document digitalization and optical character recognition. The skills that you develop in these intensive workshops will enable you to automate basic workplace tasks and become more efficient.  This microcredential will be particularly useful to those who are new to programming concepts and are looking for a results-based curriculum to increase their productivity in the workplace. 

The Electric Vehicle Technology and Service course prepares Automotive Service Technicians (AST) to safely diagnose, service, and repair high-voltage electric vehicles. The course is designed for AST Red Seal Technicians or AST 3rd—or 4th-year apprentices to build upon their previous knowledge of conventional vehicle systems and further develop their knowledge and skills required to work confidently on most electric vehicles on our roads.   Prerequisite(s) – Automotive Service Technician Red Seal Endorsement or SkilledTradesBC CofQ Level 3 or equivalent. 

This microcredential will focus on relationship building and engagement with Indigenous communities to work towards reconciliation. Participants will learn about respectful and appropriate communication and traditional/cultural protocols within Indigenous communities. Learners will build personal capacity for developing relationships and building mutual trust for long-term positive social impacts with Indigenous communities. Participants will engage with their peers through discussion forums and case studies. They will develop a community engagement strategy and communication plan based on an assigned project.
