Program Description

The Automotive Service Technology 1 program offers coherent and rigorous content to prepare for careers in the transportation, distribution and logistics career cluster. Broad skills in areas not limited to planning management and underlying principles of technology and labor issues pertaining to the automotive industry.
​
ASE accreditation of an automotive training program brings with it program credibility, prestige, recognition, and overall program improvement. By ensuring training programs meet the highest standards, ASE accreditation benefits everyone from schools, students and future employers, to the automotive service industry and everyone driving on our nation’s roads.

Job Prospects

With some employers reporting difficulty finding workers with the right skills and education, job opportunities for qualified applicants should be very good, whether they obtained their knowledge through education or experience. Of these workers, those who have completed formal post-secondary training programs or achieved ASE certification should enjoy the best job prospects. Those without formal automotive training or certification are likely to face strong competition for entry-level jobs. Many job openings will be in automobile dealerships and independent repair shops, where most service technicians currently work.
