Apprenticeship - Agricultural Equipment Technician

Apprenticeship is a structured training program leading to certification in the skilled trades. An apprenticeship combines supervised on-the-job training and experience with theoretical technical training. You find a job in your trade first and then enter into an apprenticeship agreement. You work 7,200 hours mentored by a certified journeyperson and gain the required skills and knowledge. You also take some technical courses. The Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency administers the trades training and certification system. An agricultural equipment technician apprenticeship prepares apprentices to maintain and repair farm, ranch, and agribusiness power equipment and vehicles.
