instruction, students learn to repair the complex electrical and computerized
systems of today's automobiles and light trucks. Training is tailored
to prepare the students for ASE certification tests.
Career opportunities in the automotive industry include
but are not limited to dealerships, fleets, and independent repair
shops.
Program highlights
- Two year program
- Strong job market outlook
- Opportunity to participate in state
and national competitions through SkillsUSA student organization

Employment Potential
Well trained technicians are
getting harder to find. CCC Automotive Service Technology
is constantly improving to meet the needs of industry by training
qualified entry level technicians to keep industry striving.
As demand goes up, a well-trained technician is irreplaceable,
and the employment potential is unlimited. Opportunities should
be very good for automotive service technicians and mechanics
with diagnostic and problem-solving skills and knowledge of
electronics and mathematics. Over the 2002-12 period, population
growth will boost demand for motor vehicles, which will require
regular maintenance and service. Growth of the labor force
and in the number of families in which both spouses need vehicles
to commute to work will contribute to increased vehicle sales
and employment in this industry. Automobile technicians and
mechanics can expect to find employment in a variety of location
such as:
- Repair shops
- Automobile dealerships
- Transportation companies
- Automobile manufacturing factories
Wages for automotive technicians vary by location,
but average between $10.00 and $25.00 per hour. For additional
information, visit the U.S. Department
of labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupation Handbook.
Program Goals
Students who successfully complete this program
should be able to:
- Provide fundamentals of basic engine principles,
operations, and maintenance
- Provide knowledge of principles, operation,
diagnosis, and service of disc brakes, drum brakes, and
ABS systems
- Provide knowledge of principles, operations,
diagnosis, and service of automotive electrical systems,
and wiring diagrams
- Provide knowledge of principles, operations,
diagnosis, and service of engine performance problems with
diagnostic equipment such as scanners and analyzers
- Demonstrate shop procedures and repair
procedures with the correct tools and equipment in a safe
environmentally friendly manner
- Provide training to develop mathematical,
along with oral and written communication skills to problem
solve effectively in an automotive repair shop
