The field of automotive service and repair has become so specialized and technical that the demand for trained technicians
increases daily. The Automotive Service Technology program currently holds a certification from the National Automotive
Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF), and offers courses in all eight certification areas.
Each student will be required to purchase a tool kit approved by the instructor. Students will be asked to take the NOCTI exam before
graduation.
