BANNER:
AUTX
Certificate

Upon successful completion of all required courses in the Automotive Technology or in the Diesel Technology A.A.S. degree a student may pursue an Automotive & Diesel Master Technician Certificate.

The Automotive & Diesel Master Technician (ADMT) Certificate will provide Auto Tech and Diesel Tech students with the opportunity to supplement and enhance their technical skills with courses specific to the auto or diesel tech program in which they did not earn their degree-certificate. To earn an ADMT certificate an Auto Tech graduate will take certain diesel tech courses and a Diesel Tech graduate will take certain auto tech courses. Students completing this additional coursework will have a wide array of employment opportunities.

Currently there are many employment opportunities in both the automotive and diesel areas that are going unfilled due to a lack of qualified personnel. The Automotive & Diesel Master Technician Certificate will also provide graduates who wish to become entrepreneurs a much broader foundation on which to build an automotive and/or diesel repair business.
