COURSE OBJECTIVE:
After successfully completing the Automotive Technician Program Automotive Technology I, and Automotive Technology II , students will take ASE entry-level certification exams. Students will complete required 80% of program competencies. Instruction will be delivered in a hybrid format. Whenever possible and appropriate students will complete theory based instruction off campus while logged into a virtual classroom (students that have limited or no internet access will attend classes in person at the school.) When it becomes necessary to perform hands on competencies they will be conducted in the schools Shop/Lab and under all safety and social distancing guidelines determined by the Instructor, CDC, VDOE and BCPS. Those who qualify will be able to test and obtain the Virginia State Inspection License (be advised that BCPS employees will never ask for a student’s Social security number, however, the State Police do require it as part of their background check). Those that qualify will, at the instructor’s discretion, participate in an internship program. The program provides opportunities for students to work in professional shops and apply their knowledge of the automotive industry in real world environments. Strict adherence to internship program rules, policies and guidelines are required to maintain student participation and said participation can be halted at the instructor’s discretion to maintain internship site privacy and continued participation. To qualify for the internship, students must maintain an overall GPA (including base school) of 2.5. Pass ASE student certification tests. Pass all safety certifications, and be able to arrange proper transportation to and from base school and internship site.
