• EV (electric vehicle) and hybrid certification

  High-voltage safety training. Growing fast as dealerships sell more electric cars, and not every tech is willing to touch 400 volts.

• Truck and coach technician (a second trade)

  Diesel work, fleets and transit, with pension jobs.

• Ozone-depleting substances certificate

  A short course you need to legally handle air-conditioning refrigerant.

• Alignment, transmission or electrical specialization
