Automotive Technology
The purpose of the Automotive Technology program is to train students for employment in automotive service and repair. The laboratory phase of courses uses modern tools and equipment while performing actual “live” service and repairs on automobiles. The classroom phase includes discussion of principles on the operation of automotive systems and components, demonstration of repair techniques, textbook assignments, and quizzes. Basic mechanic hand tools, supplies, books, and working clothes are required for enrollment. A tool list is available from the instructor.
The Automotive Technology program prerequisite requires placement at English 22 or higher, or consent of instructor, for all Automotive Technology courses except AMT 80 and AMT 100. Students must maintain a valid driver’s license throughout the duration of the Automotive course of study.

The Automotive Technology program offers two different pathways towards certificates and degrees, Automotive Technology (AMT) and Auto Body Repair and Painting (ABRP).
