Portfolio Learning
The NSCC curriculum is reflective of principles of adult education and current (provincial and national if applicable)
competency that are reviewed and revised on a continuous basis to reflect the evolving role for graduation.
The teaching-learning process is an interactive process in which learners assume a personal accountability for their
own learning. Faculty facilitate learning through the creation of learning environments that stimulate inquiry,
integration of knowledge and skills, critical-thinking and life-long learning. As a learning-centered college, all activities
support the creation of an educational climate that promotes learning. Portfolio education, a hallmark of NSCC, is
flexible and dynamic. It meets learners "where they are," gives them necessary knowledge and skills, and offers them
opportunities for self-development so they can reach their educational, career and life goals.
Program Conceptual Framework
This program prepares you with the technical and practical knowledge you need to work with automotive technicians on
the floor and the service expertise you need to support customers at the front desk. During the 20 week training program,
youll gain the necessary skills to work as an Automotive Service Advisor, Service Parts Person or Service Consultant and
possible Management positions which are all in high demand by Nova Scotia car dealers and auto service shops.

Apply the Essential & Employability Skills needed to enter, stay in, and progress in the world of work,
productively contributing to the economy and the community.
Essential Skills
Essential skills are those skills identified as important to individuals in all occupations and other aspects
of daily life, that are quantifiable, enabling skills, needed to perform tasks required by program, provide a
foundation for learning additional skills and for developing the ability to adapt to change.
Employability Skills
Employability Skills 2000+, as defined by the Conference Board of Canada are The skills you need to
enter, stay in, and progress in the world of work - whether you work on your own or as part of a team.
These skills can also be applied and used beyond the workplace in a range of daily activities. The
emphasis is obviously on the skills expressed as job skills.
Employability skills differ from Essential Skills as they do not include complexity levels and occupationalprofiles.
The Conference Board of Canada's Employability Skills include other factors, such as attitudes and
behaviours, which are also very important for employees. Employability skills include workplace att itudes
and behaviours that focus on the quality of interactions in the workplace
20.
Blend service and learning in ways that use program-related skills, knowledge and behaviours to serve
others at the campus, within the college and in the community.
Apply a Portfolio approach to the personal management of learning and career planning relating to the
learners occupational readiness.
Program Admission Requirements
RPL Statement
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a way of obtaining credit for college level knowledge, skills and competencies
gained outside the classroom. RPL matches prior learning from work, training, education, learning from experience and
personal study to the learning achieved in NSCC courses. If you can demonstrate that your prior learning matches what
would be acquired through our courses in your chosen area of the College study, then credit is granted.
Employment Opportunities
An automotive service advisor plays a critical role in the front line operations of auto service shops serving
customers and managing the relationships which ultimately drive the long-term success of the business. Strong
communication is a key requirement as you effectively facilitate auto service needs. Every day, youll be working
with customers to help them identify and understand their vehicle maintenance and repair needs. Youll also be
communicating those needs directly with the technician so he/she can effectively service, diagnose and repair the
vehicle.
Automotive service advisors have a strong business sense with a focus on quality service and teamwork. Working
with your colleagues, youll be scheduling work, preparing estimates and tracking costs and revenues for the
business.
In Canada, the auto service and aftermarket sector is an $18 billion industry that employs more than 400,000
people. The industry is composed of companies that manufacture, distribute and install automotive replacement
parts, accessories, tools, and equipment.
