Hamilton District Autobody Repair Association (HARA) Praises Pre-License Training Program

Hamilton, Ontario -- The province of Ontario's Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) has partnered with Mohawk College to provide a pre-license training program.

All technicians working in the autobody and collision repair industry MUST hold a trades license/certificate to work in the province. This trades license or certificate means that the public is assured that the technician that is professionally repairing their damaged car or truck, has been properly trained and tested in his/her knowledge. The trades license/certificate also states that they have passed the provincial qualification exam that has assessed their knowledge of their skilled trade.

There are a number of workers in the industry who are ready to take the final exam that will lead to the successful awarding of their Certificate of Qualification to work in the trade.

Mohawk College, Stoney Creek campus, is now offering a pre-license training program to assist workers in obtaining their Certificate of Qualification. This is increasingly important pre-license training for those who have had difficulties in writing prior exams, those that have been working without trades qualification and workers who may have the required hours of training but not taken the final exam. As well, the final pass rate for the exam increases to 70 percent pass rate in July, 2001. The course is offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting April 10 for 12 nights over 6 weeks from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
