If you are interested in a career as an automotive technician, automotive master mechanic, or engine specialist, then HFC's Automotive Technology is the program for you.
Our program is designed to provide you with the skills required for automotive diagnostics, servicing, and testing. By the time you finish, you will have the ability to solve complex problems through critical analysis, effectively communicate difficult technical information to others, and possess the skills and knowledge necessary for employment in the automotive service industry.
Complex problem-solving and technology are just two of the many skills required to be able to work on a modern, highly sophisticated automobile. Our program not only trains you how to diagnose and repair cars, but also offers you the opportunity to actually do it through hands-on experience. You will receive an in-depth study of the multiple systems found on today’s vehicles, including electrical, fuel, ignition, power, and drive train.
