If you like working with your hands, solving problems, and learning how things run under the hood, the Automotive Academy is the place to be. Students build engines, run diagnostics, and understand the physics behind torque and horsepower. This isn’t just textbook learning—you’ll use real tools on real vehicles as you explore the many career pathways the automotive industry has to offer. Whether you're interested in maintenance, diagnostics, performance tuning, or automotive business operations, this program gives you the skills to get started.

Over the course of the two-year program, students dive into everything from steering and suspension to engine performance and computerized diagnostic systems. You’ll troubleshoot brake systems, replace drivetrain components, perform alignments, and use On Board Diagnostics (OBD) to uncover problems most drivers don't even know exist. You'll also learn how to read service bulletins, communicate with customers, and create accurate repair estimates—building the technical and professional skills needed for a career in the ever-evolving world of automotive technology.

Whatever your pathway, whether it's employment, enrollment, or enlistment, the Automotive Academy will provide you the opportunities to reach your goals through valued industry certifications, exposure to our college partners, and taking advantage of our Work-Based Learning program. Several of our graduates go on to become automotive technicians, transmission technicians, shop managers, or automotive engineers.
