Transfer of Credits/Articulation Agreements

• A+ Computer Repair Technician

Apprenticeship

Students in several programs at ATC can benefit from the opportunities available through Manitoba Apprenticeship. Apprenticeship is quality, paid, on-the-job and in-school training that leads to certification as a journeyperson in a skilled trade.

The Automotive Technology and Culinary Arts programs are accredited for Level I Apprenticeship Certification, giving students the benefit of obtaining their Level I in-school Technical Training component and a time credit of 900 hours towards the trade of Motor Vehicle Mechanic and 1350 hours towards the trade of Cook.

Hairstyling and Esthetics programs are fully accredited, offering students credit for the entire in-school Technical Training component and the possibility to begin their apprenticeship while still enrolled in the program. See individual program information for details and eligibility criteria.

Students can gain a significant head-start on Apprenticeship by combining an ATC program with the Senior Years Apprenticeship Option (SYAO).  SYAO allows students to earn credit for their paid trade-related evening, weekend and summer work.
