In this lab, you’ll learn from faculty members with years of industry experience who are committed to seeing you succeed and to helping you maximize your skills.

As a Graduate of the Auto Body Repair Technician program at Centennial College, in two years you will have earned an Ontario College Diploma and the first two levels of in-class education in the Auto Body and Collision Damage Repair Apprenticeship. You will then be ready to start your journey as a registered Apprentice, which will prepare you to return to school for your level 3 on a traditional apprenticeship.
