Automotive Technology will provide students with the skills necessary for employment in the field of auto mechanics (repair, service, maintenance, retail/wholesale parts businesses). This program has an ASE certified instructor who prepares students to become ASE certified (tests are offered every spring at the College), a requirement for all new hires in major auto dealerships.

The program course requirements are presented in sequence. Part-time students and others who cannot follow this sequence should check course descriptions in this Catalog to determine prerequisites and, in addition, should consult their academic advisor regarding the order in which they take courses.
