The Automotive Technician Program provides students with the skills needed to pursue a career in any area of automotive repair.  Our program takes great pride in its professionalism.  A dress code, attendance policy, and student conduct code are strictly enforced.  Because the program is so intensive, class size is limited to ensure optimum training.
