It's 2008 and you want to be a mechanic..

Rule #1 of apprenticeship or showing you actually care or possibly grasp the magnitude of acquiring such a position would be to properly spell it correctly.

thanks for the confidence boost , really you could have just said nothing and not be an idiot

If you wish to be a Honda Certified Mechanic, this is the way to do it. Don't sit on your a**, go to the open house, call the campus, get as much info as possible.

you think i havent been doing that?

With no experience or training, I dont really think you can juts get a job working on cars. I would imagine you would have to enroll in a apprenticeship program before you can start working. Im sure you could get a job at a Honda dealer washing cars or doing oil changes. Not very glamorous, but it gets you started.

I'm the idiot?

Be real with yourself first.

You ask on a public forum and you receive on a public forum.

how old are you? are you still enrolled in high school? If you are in high school go talk to your oyap teachers.. You can join oyap and do some hours there, and once you have completed your program with oyap.. they pay for your tuitition for college for mechanics

hmmmm good call

Dexst

yes thats fine but learn to speak politely to people, and add a suggestion rather than a smart comment

Here are some things you should do.

1) Find a job as a lube tech for now
2) Sign up for the Honda MAP program at Centennial College
3) After your signed up for the MAP program, go around to Honda dealerships and apply there. Mention that you are enrolled in the MAP program at Centennial.
4) Buy a tool box, with some air tools, and a socket wrench set. You'll probably need more than that, but that should be sufficient for now.

I used to be a lube tech, and I initially wanted to become a mechanic, but things change. 2 close friends of mine used to be apprentices, and now one works for Bell as a DSL repair tech. My other friend now works for shoppers drug mart. I'd rather not say what I do, but I got out of the industry as well. I was really determined at the time that this is what I wanted to do. I guess it didn't turn out the way I planned. Now I just work on cars as a hobby, but won't do it as my job. Don't get wrong, not everyone leaves the mechanic industry. My cousin is currently still a mechanic, and so is his friend that I know.

I would suggest speaking with people you know in the industry, if any at all. If you don't know anyone in the industry, talk to random people (apprentices, mechanics, even service advisors). I know a few service advisors who used to be mechanics.

Anyways, good luck to you.

how do you speck?

zyepher

You just typed speck and its that time for carelessness thats comedic.

Speaking politely is for bitches. I speak truth whether people want to hear it or not. If they don't like hearing it then its because they can't accept it.
