Other trades

Other trades such as upholsterer, tune-up specialist, automatic transmission mechanic, brake mechanic, gas welder, and arc welder are declining in importance and therefore less in demand. Although existing competency cards for these trades are still valid and recognized, professional qualification exams are no longer available. However, exams are still available for radiator repair specialists.
