Program Description

The Automotive Technology curriculum follows the guidelines established by the ASE Education Foundation which include safety requirements, areas of focus, time frames, and recognized task lists designed by ASE. The Automotive Technology program gives students the foundation to jumpstart their career with some of the largest dealership service centers or independent repair facilities across the country.

Time in the program consists of a hands-on approach to learning in our sophisticated and newly constructed automotive shop. Coursework includes web-based training for Ford, Subaru, Hyundai/Genesis, and Mercedes Benz.

Upon completion of our program, and working a year in the industry, students have the opportunity to pass all the ASE certification tests to become an ASE Master Automobile Service Technician (MAST). Students also have the opportunity to begin manufacturer specific web-based factory training by one or more of our industry sponsors.

Upon program completion, students will be able to:

  • Comply with personal and environmental safety practices associated with clothing, eye protection, tools, equipment, ventilation, and handling of chemicals and materials

  • Demonstrate safe working habits 

  • Demonstrate knowledge related to the service, maintenance, operation, and function of the core systems related to gasoline and electrical powered equipment,

  • Build and maintain good working relationships

Certificates and Licensure
