Requirements for The ASEP Program

Student Qualifications

To qualify for the ASEP program, you must be a Grade 12 graduate or equivalent, with a strong academic background in Math, English and Physics, and successfully complete a college administered entrance examination.

You must arrange for a General Motors Dealer to sponsor you and register with the appropriate Provincial Government Apprenticeship Agency. If you need help finding a GM Dealer, ask your high school about their co-op programs, as many GM Dealers are on high school co-op program lists.

Then, all you have to do is fulfill your employment commitment and keep up the academic and attendance standards by taking part in all of the learning activities.

Government Assistance

Of course, you're responsible for buying your own basic hand tools (approx. $2,000), but government assistance may be available for some program costs if you qualify.

Tools Assistance

To help ease the cost of supplies, Snap-on Tools offers a start-up program for ASEP students. Simply e-mail jack.wilson@snapon.com or call 1-888-451-8665 for more details.

Rewards

And get this-while in the dealership portion of your training, you are a paid employee of the dealership. This way, you can "earn as you learn".

ASEP offers excellent financial rewards to those who master the technical aspects of modern automotive technology. So get in there and roll up your sleeves.

Updating Courses

Your work experience will give you the opportunity to apply the theory you've learned in the classroom, establishing a solid foundation for further development of your skills and knowledge.

And once you're finished ASEP, your education doesn't stop there. Ongoing GM updating courses will keep you on the leading edge of automotive technology.
