Program Description

Automotive Mechanics program is a NATEF, National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation certified program which provides basic automotive instruction in the field of automotive repair. The State of Michigan requires all working automotive technicians to be licensed in the areas for which they are employed. Successful completion of the class will prepare students to take four out of the eight State of Michigan certification tests. The four areas of Michigan State certification we cover are: Engine Tune-up and Performance, Suspension and Steering Systems, Brakes and Braking Systems and Electrical Systems. First year instruction encompasses basic skills of auto maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotation, belts and hoses, the use of the hoist and safety practices. First year students also focus on the Braking System in preparation for their first State Certification test. Second year students broaden their topics of study to include engine tune-up and performance, suspension and steering, and electrical systems in preparation for other State certifications. We offer an innovative mix of instruction along with hands on experience providing curriculum that is designed to prepare students for employment and success in the automotive repair field.
