begin. Tools are provided for classes on campus but will be required for the Work Experience classes. So, students should be prepared to purchase tools
as they progress through the program. Tool vendors are available to offer discounts

Manufacturer (Ford, GM) programs require a student to be sponsored by a dealership.
Program coordinators may suggest a dealership/business to visit. However, it is the student’s responsibility to secure their sponsorship. When applying for a sponsorship, students should dress appropriately for an interview
and have a well-groomed appearance.
Students entering a manufacturer program must have a clean driving record, be able to pass a background check and be able to pass a drug
test. Students cannot have a felony on their record as a felony prevents a dealership/business
from bonding a student with their insurance to drive customer vehicles.
Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree programs require students to take both academic
and automotive classes. Ford ASSET and GM ASEP are Associate Degree programs therefore students must complete
the AAS curriculum.

of Technical Studies as well as 2 year AAS degrees. Web training from Audi, Chrysler,
Subaru, Volvo, and Toyota are offered in the Comprehensive program.
Once enrolled in a program, it is the student’s responsibility to keep track of their requirements for graduation
and to apply for graduation. Students can track courses taken through DegreeWorks Dashboard in LoLA. Students
should take ASE tests after completing each corresponding class to achieve ASE certification.
