Automotive Service Technology Fast Track 

The Fast Track program is an accelerated training path specifically designed for adult learners who maintain daytime employment. This program focuses on Automotive Service Technology, teaching students to master the diagnosis, service, and repair of modern passenger vehicles and light trucks to prepare them for immediate careers in professional repair facilities. Upon completion, graduates earn two Certificates of Proficiency: 

• Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair Certificate of Proficiency

Because of the fast-paced nature of the curriculum, we recommend that applicants have some prior automotive background.
