The Automotive Technology program prepares students for employment in many areas of the automotive field including dealerships, independent garages, fleet shops, service stations and specialty shops which cover areas such as tune-ups and brakes. Students may enter the program only in the first quarter. The one-year certificate requires completion of any three quarters of the Automotive Technology program and the four related classes identified in footnote 1 of the Automotive Technology AAS degree. This flexible schedule also enables students to receive short-term certificates while pursuing their degree. Students must complete all courses with a 2.0 grade or better before advancing to subsequent quarters.
Automotive Technology students must enroll in and attend the full quarter in order to obtain any certificate(s) for the quarter. The certificate(s) option is offered only if space is available and priority for space is given to students seeking the two year AAS degree.
This short-term certificate provides students with both theory and practical lab applications in automotive brake and hydraulic systems. Students gain experience in the diagnosis and repair of the following systems and components: master cylinder and hydraulic systems, drum and disc brakes, parking brakes, machining of brake drums and rotors, power brake units, and anti-lock brake systems.
