This short-term certificate prepares students to use electronic service equipment and investigate their areas of specialization. A more intensive career preparation is provided through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on practice. The curriculum is updated frequently to reflect changing technology and equipment. The program design for automotive service technicians includes knowledge of the basic principles of electronics and electrical systems. Successful graduates may become certified by Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) in specific service areas after 2 years of experience and passing a written examination. Completing an automotive mechanic program in high school, vocational, or community college may substitute for 1 year of experience.

Completion of Basic Auto Mechanics is recommended prior to enrollment in Advanced Auto Mechanics.
