Presentation
Light and heavy transport vehicles are becoming more intricate due to advances in mechanical design and digital/computer/mechatronic technologies. This complexity exists in internal combustion vehicles, hybrid and electric vehicles and their maintenance and repair increasingly require highly specialised/qualified staff. In addition, there are currently several companies in the Alto Minho region that manufacture components for the automotive industry and have chosen to operate in Viana do Castelo, leading to a greater need for specialised human resources. Consequently, this training will allow students to develop skills in this area in order to address this shortage.
The Higher Professional Technician in Car Mechanic can, independently or as part of a team, handle a wide range of tasks, including planning, overseeing and carrying out vehicle diagnostics, repairs and maintenance in both industrial and commercial settings. Furthermore, their in-depth knowledge in this area will enable them to work in industries specialising in Automotive Mechanics.
