Advanced Diploma in Technology Management

at Red River College Polytechnic - Notre Dame Campus Canada

Business Administration provides the student with a broad business foundation during the first year of studies. During the second year of the program, the student will declare a major that focuses their studies in a particular area, either Accounting, Administration, Financial Services, Marketing or Human Resource Management.

Some courses focus on theoretical foundations, others will emphasize application of knowledge. Group projects are integral to many courses offered in this program.

This program supplements the Automotive Technician Certificate program to develop the skills you need to work with advanced electrical and electronic systems in the automotive technician field.

Classroom instruction will broaden your knowledge in the automotive electronics area and will cover other advanced systems such as engine management, fuel injection, and ABS brakes.

This is not an apprenticeship program but may provide credit transfer opportunities for apprenticeship. The Government of Manitoba, Entrepreneurship, Training, and Trade offers apprenticeship training that combines on-the-job practical skills development with levels of technical training.

This program gives you an understanding of the basic purpose, construction, operation, and service of component parts and assemblies of an automobile.
You will develop the knowledge and skills required to disassemble, inspect, machine, calibrate and reassemble motor vehicle units and components. You will study internal combustion engines, automatic and standard transmissions, brakes, steering, electrical circuits, wiring, and fuel systems.
Most training will take place at RRC’s auto mechanics workshop, an environment that will give you the practical experience required for industry employment. You will also acquire industry work experience as part of this program.
Prior to starting the program, you will be invited to attend a program overview information session. You will also be invited to participate in a math and reading skills diagnostic testing session that will advise you of your program readiness.
