Certificate in Motosport Technician

at Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology Canada

Do you want to take your professional experience to the next level? This foundational credential is designed for both internationally educated students and experienced Canadian individuals who do not have a background in business principles, and students who may need advanced skills to move into or expand on management careers. Students will examine introductory business, economics, finance and management practices, with an emphasis on applied concepts typically encountered in Canadian workplaces.

The Business Management certificate can be used as a prerequisite for admission to MITT Post-Graduate Diploma programs. Students that complete this 12-month program will receive advanced standing for the first term of a diploma. That means you will already have the credits for the first four courses, and will earn a one-term scheduled academic break before continuing your studies.

This makes it possible to apply for two post-graduate programs at once—the Business Management Certificate plus a diploma of your choice. Progression to the diploma is based on successful completion of the certificate.

A work practicum placement gives you an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and add to your skill-set through a real-world work experience and participation in MITT’s Work Skills Series workshops gives you a solid foundation in the employability and essential skills employers demand.
