Ski Lift Mechanic Apprenticeship Certificate.

Colorado Mountain College, the Rocky Mountain Lift Association, and Vail Resorts, Inc. are cooperating to offer a lift mechanics apprenticeship program. To participate in this program you must be a registered apprentice working in an appropriate position for a company which has an approved lift mechanic apprenticeship program. Both the business sponsors and the apprentice will be registered with the U.S. Department of Labor's Apprenticeship Training program. Some courses require the student to take a placement test to prove college-level abilities. There are three areas in the placement testing: reading, English (writing) and math. Previous college level credits in appropriate classes may allow students to bypass placement testing.

The Ski Lift Mechanic Apprenticeship is administered by Ski Area Operations (SAO) at the Timberline Campus in Leadville, please e-mail them or telephone 719-486-2015 for information on this program. This program is delivered at Alpine, Aspen, Summit, Timberline, and Vail/Eagle Valley Campuses.
