A student in the Automotive Technology program will be introduced to the highly technical careers centering on the repair of automobiles and light trucks. Rigorous evaluation by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) has resulted in program certification that assures employers standards of excellence in the areas of instruction, facilities, and equipment are met by BCAVTS. Skill areas include brakes and the electrical/electronic systems for the first year and engine performance, suspension, and steering for the second year of the program.
AYES, Automotive Youth Educational Systems, provides an opportunity for an internship with area automotive dealerships. Qualifying students may work in a paid job that is full-time in the summer between the junior and senior years. During the school year, part-time work at the dealership would be encouraged.
