#AUR20720 CERTIFICATE II IN
AUTOMOTIVE VOCATIONAL PREPARATION

Description of Course:

This course was designed for VET in Schools to
introduce skills and knowledge to perform minor
maintenance and repair of mechanical and electrical
components and systems on vehicles. It is a hands on
course and great preparation for an apprenticeship.
With our comprehensive partnerships with the
industry sector our students will benefit from the TEC
program which is designed to upskill students with
soft skills to prepare them for industry.

What are Soft Skills?

Soft skills can be defined as a set of non-technical,
professional abilities such as communication,
interpersonal and customer service skills, as well as
personal traits such as integrity and responsibility
that employees need to secure employment and
succeed in the workplace. International Youth
Foundation’s “Passport to Success” program is a 30
unit qualification which will provide students the Life
Skills that are a critical missing link for employers
and young job seekers..

What is TEC?

Employers around the world are experiencing
critical shortages of skilled workers. At the same
time, education programs on their own often fail
to teach the students skills needed by employers.
TEC (Technical Education for Communities) Industry
Partnership at ONTTC has been formed to address
some of these issues and aims to increase student
access to good jobs within the Automotive and
Engineering sectors.
