Apparently, very little - they don't even need to know how to spell mechanic.
what education do I need to become a heavy duty mechanic
You don't need a college degree, or even necessarily a highschool degree or GED to get a good mechanic job. What you do need is education and specific mechanic training. You can sometimes get this at community colleges, or better yet directly from a mechanic.
You need to have atleast 2 years of Secondary school. Who ever put "Don't worry about it buddy!" is a failure, Probably doesn't know how much education you need to be an auto mechanic.
2 years
The element of education is not very important to become heavy equipment mechanic. Rational thinking and practice of the work have more weight than the education.
It depends on what kind of education he or she has
2 years of secondary school
a high school degree but college always helps
maths
It never ends.
