WCTC in partnership with General Motors Corporation is pleased to offer an Associate Degree in Automotive Technology leading to General Motors - Automotive Service Educational Program (GM-ASEP) certification. This unique program combines the learning resources at WCTC with “real world” job experience at GM dealerships and ACDelco Total Service Support (TSS) centers. This partnership provides students the technical competency and professional ability to become highly qualified service technicians in a satisfying, rewarding and growth-oriented career.
Thoughout the two-year program, students alternate on-campus learning time with co-op work experience at a sponsoring GM dealership or TSS center. In the WCTC classrooms and labs, students learn to analytically diagnose, service and maintain GM products using GM technical information, recommended procedures and state-of-the-art equipment and tools. Students train using the latest GM vehicles, components and educational materials available. While at the worksite, qualified technicians act as mentors to demonstrate and reinforce skills and tasks learned on-campus. In the classroom, labs and worksite, training will cover the latest developments of GM technology including engines, fuel management, electronics, transmissions/ transaxles and drives, and brakes.
Students are responsible for their own tools, toolboxes, safety shoes and clear safety glasses, both on campus and at the worksite.
