Description
The Automotive Technology program is designed to prepare skilled technicians to work in the automotive industry. The program involves general education as well as automotive lecture and laboratory instruction. Our shops are spacious and well-equipped with state-of-the-art technology. During labs, the student-to-teacher ratio is capped at 13:1, so learners get plenty of hands-on experience and instructor attention. Students may also work at a repair shop as part of the cooperative education phase of training.
The program is accredited by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, Inc. (NATEF, a division of Automotive Service Excellence) in all eight performance areas. We have strong support from community business partners. Full-time instructors with vast technical experience and education offer a nurturing learning opportunity for students.
Opportunities for graduates include positions in dealerships, independent shops, automotive parts stores and companies with vehicle fleets. Positions may allow technicians to specialize in areas such as steering and suspension, brakes, transmissions and drivelines, engine repair and performance, climate control and electronics.
