Simon’s Answer

You can become a diesel through a technical school or even an apprenticeship program. If you go to a technical or trade school it can take from 1-4 years depending on how comprehensive a program you attend. You will need, or will be taught, basic math, science and writing skills along with actual hands-on skills in any of these programs. Some diesel manufacturers have training programs also. We are in dire need of good technical people who repair heavy machinery. The pay is general very good although the hours can be demanding. Good luck.

Simon recommends the following next steps:

Investigate diesel mechanic in a technical/trade school.
Investigate union appentership programs.
Try to talk to a diesel mechanic to get their input on training programs.
