The College Certificate - Mechanical Techniques - Small Engine Mechanics (MECH/MCHJ) at Loyalist College's Belleville campus is a one-year college certificate that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will learn to service and repair small engines and powersports equipment — motorcycles, ATVs, marine and outdoor power equipment — covering engines, fuel and electrical systems, diagnostics and hands-on shop practice. The program builds practical mechanical skills for a hands-on, in-demand trade. Graduates work in powersports, marine and equipment dealerships and service shops, with apprenticeship and specialisation pathways.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Loyalist College's Belleville campus in eastern Ontario. This program is on Loyalist's official PGWP-aligned programs list (CIP 47.0000), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit — the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Small Engine Technician, Powersports Mechanic and Marine/Outdoor Equipment Technician, leaving with practical skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
