Heavy Equipment Program
Program Summary:
Heavy Equipment Technicians repair, overhaul and maintain heavy equipment such as highway transport vehicles, construction and earthmoving equipment, tractors and mobile industry equipment. If you work with a logical perspective, this could be the career for you. It's a field with strong job prospects now and for the future.
You can expect everything from routine to situations that will challenge your skills and abilities. Heavy Equipment Technicians employed by companies with their own heavy duty equipment usually follow a regular inspection schedule for preventive maintenance and make any necessary repairs. In larger shops, you could specialize in engine overhaul, power shift transmissions, fuel systems, hydraulic controls, electrical and electronic equipment, air-conditioning, or track equipment.
You'll also find that your work environment will vary considerably from one job to another. You could find yourself in a modern shop performing major repairs, or you could be in construction fields, working right on site, contributing directly to the success of a specific project. Either way, you'll find it a rewarding experience if you enjoy achieving expertise with precise work, problem-solving and working with your hands.

Program Summary:
Do you enjoy working with machines and equipment? Our practical, one-year (32-week) Agricultural and Heavy Equipment Technician Certificate program will give you the foundation you need to build a successful career in agricultural and/or heavy-duty diesel equipment repair.
Upon successful completion of the Agricultural and Heavy Equipment Technician program, you can enter the Alberta Apprenticeship program with an advanced standing toward the completion of their apprenticeship training. Apprenticeship exams can be written for both the first and second years of Agricultural Equipment Technician and the first and second years of Heavy Equipment Technician upon successful completion of the program. You will receive 300 hours credit towards experience for each of the first and second years of Agricultural Equipment Technician or the first and second years of Heavy Equipment Technician.
Working in small classes, you’ll develop your understanding of power trains, steering, suspension, brakes, diesel engines, fuel systems, electrical systems and mobile hydraulics, as well as farm and industrial equipment through theory and lots of hands-on experience. One week of the program will be completed at an Agricultural or Heavy Equipment repair facility where you’ll work directly with journeyman technicians.
Our modern shop facilities have the latest in diagnostic technologies and tools. And, you’ll test your skills working on a wide range of on- and off-road vehicles and farm equipment.

Parts Technician
Program Summary:
Knowing what is what and where it is located in a large warehouse requires a special set of skills that you can acquire as a parts technician. It can be the ideal opportunity for you if you enjoy variety, developing expertise, working with people and participating in your customers' success.
As a parts technician, you'll manage and dispense parts inventories, which may include automotive, heavy duty, farm implement, industrial, recreational vehicle, jobbers, plumbing, electrical and so on. You may be responsible for handling stock, warehousing, identifying and cataloguing parts and assemblies, as well as ordering, receiving, inspecting, sorting, pricing and selling. It all depends upon the size of the wholesale, retail or warehouse distribution business and the types of parts involved.
If you demonstrate the necessary skills and can work effectively with people, you could look forward to advancing to supervisory positions, such as parts department manager, store manager, or even store owner. With some sales experience, interested parts technicians can move into sales representative positions.
Lethbridge College has designed this program specifically with you in mind. We follow the Weekly Apprenticeship Training System (WATS) format. You will attend classes only one day a week, usually from mid-day to early evening, so your time away from the job will be minimized.
