About the Instructor
Following completion of his Red Seal certification in Automotive from Camosun College, Mike Bocsik embarked on a successful 17-year venture as an automotive business owner in Victoria. During this time, he also began filling in as an instructor at Camosun.
Eventually, Mike decided to return to Camosun as a full-time instructor. His current role involves teaching upcoming Red Seal technicians new technology and courses in Diesel Marine, Commercial Vehicle Inspector, Automotive Service Advisor, and more.
Mike's extensive experience as a business owner and educator affords him a unique perspective and skill set that he readily shares with his students. We are grateful for the knowledge he brings to the classroom and are proud to have him as part of our team.
We are especially grateful to live, work, and play on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen (Songhees, Kosapsum), Malahat, Pacheedaht, Scia'new, T'Sou-ke, and WSÁNEĆ (Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) peoples. We acknowledge their welcome and graciousness to the students who seek knowledge here.
