Through various hands-on applications in our advanced auto technology lab, students develop the specific skills needed to advance in today’s increasingly technical industry. Using a host of instructional methods, students are introduced to theory and operation in all areas. This industry has become extremely advanced and the majority of training has become online. Therefore the lab is equipped with trainers that are used industry-wide including Ford, GM, Toyota, and Honda.
