Automotive Technology at NMC

Automotive Technology

This program is designed for either the person with little or no prior experience or the skilled technician who needs to keep pace with current technology. Students may take the classes they need to update skills, pursue an Associate in Applied Science degree which combines automotive technician classes with courses in the liberal arts and sciences, or work toward a Master Technician Certificate which qualifies graduates to enter the workplace as entrylevel state-certified technicians. All eight state mechanical certifications must be passed to be awarded the Master Technician Certificate.

Day and evening classes allow technicians at every level to develop new skills at convenient times. The program is a series of modules, each designed to teach an individual system. This flexibility allows the more experienced technician to learn a specific system while the beginning technician can combine the modules for a complete course in automotive technology.
