About our Automotive Program

This program follows a schedule of courses that allows students to receive a Certificate of Occupational Training for each of the eight specialty areas determined by ASE guidelines. Completing all areas prepares students for certification as Master Technician issued by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Students may also complete a number of Snap-On® certifications through NC3. Employers nationwide respect these certificates.

A student must demonstrate proficiency in the course competencies to successfully complete the course requirements and advance to subsequent courses. Students should demonstrate responsibility in completing assignments in a timely manner.

Students successfully completing the program will be skilled in the latest advances in automotive technology and will be given assistance in locating appropriate employment. Current graduates are gainfully employed in a wide variety of automotive dealerships and independent shops.

Note: This program requires students to purchase their own tools and uniform shirts. To obtain a list of required tools and where to purchase uniform shirts, contact a program instructor.
