Welcome
With more than 130 million automobiles traveling on U.S. highways, there’s a strong demand for energetic, forward-thinking collision repair technicians to perform work on high-tech, uni-body, space-frame auto bodies. Our program combines qualified instructors, state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, involvement from businesses, and extra-curricular activities to offer you boundless career opportunities.
The computerized laboratories allow you to do auto-body repairs involving rust, dents, major collisions, panel replacement, plastic repair and replacement, and painting. You will gain valuable experience working with specialized tools for metal straightening, glass, fiberglass, suspension, electrical, and suspension repairs. Graduates of our program frequently return to the laboratories and classrooms to update students about the latest industry standards for body refinishing, precision color matching, collision estimating and other responsibilities.
Our graduates obtain training for certification by the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair, the internationally recognized leader in educating auto collision repair technicians. This certification maximizes your entry-level job salary potential. Whether you pursue a Certificate of Completion or an Associate of Applied Science degree, you will prepare yourself for competition in the global job marketplace.
We look forward to helping you develop and refine your ACT knowledge and skills. It’s an exciting career field and the many student services – financial aid, internships, scholarships, and more – our college offers could put you on the highway toward success.
