About Automotive Technology

Our Automotive Technology program is recognized by the industry as the top high school automotive training course in the region. Our instructors are ASE Certified Master Technicians and our program is accredited by the ASE Education Foundation. Our close partnerships with local dealerships and shops allow us to offer students the ability to get a head start on their career. The employment potential and wages are high for our students.
This program provides a two and a half-hour block of time split between the auto shop and related classroom work. The hands-on work and related instruction are based upon ASE educational standards, which include the skills, personal traits, and knowledge required to achieve entry-level employment in the automotive industry.
First year: Students will develop foundational skills and knowledge of auto repair that will be used throughout their entire career as an auto professional. These skills include: shop safety & hazardous materials handling, base engine operation, general vehicle maintenance, wheel & tire service, brake system maintenance, electrical testing & repair, engine performance maintenance.
Second year: Students will explore more advanced repair concepts on all vehicle systems and perform real repairs on school and personal vehicles. Students will also apply their knowledge through our internship program, which places students in local shops and dealerships working under the supervision of a mentor technician. This will allow students to build their skills and move into higher positions upon graduation. Internship is also an excellent pathway to employment, with many of our students gaining jobs and college sponsorship during their time as a Cascadia Tech Auto student.
