The Automotive Technology programs at Pennsylvania College of Technology prepare students for a variety of careers in the field of automotive service. Students in all of these programs receive the same automotive technical instruction including:
- applying automotive operating principles
- diagnosing automotive system malfunctions
- developing skills in service, repair, and test procedures
The Automotive Service Technician certificate offers instruction and hands-on experience to prepare students for careers in the maintenance, diagnosis, and repair on all systems of the popular makes of automobiles.
The Automotive Technology associate's degree likewise prepares students to work in the field of automotive service, but includes some more rigorous general education courses. These graduates are thus better positioned to enter into a bachelor's program, should they choose to do so.
