AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY (ASE)
TOYOTA T-TEN
(Wallace Campus)

Advancements in technology have greatly affected today's automotive technician. Being a good mechanic is not enough. Today a technician must possess excellent mechanical skills, be knowledgeable of electronics, be able to diagnose complex problems, and be committed to keeping pace with future advancements. More than 100,000 jobs are available to qualified applicants, but technical training and hands-on experience are required. To fill these needs in the Wiregrass area, WCC has established a partnership with Toyota Technical Education (T-Ten) to provide the most comprehensive automotive educational opportunities possible.

Students are trained on late-model vehicles with modern equipment used in a classroom and laboratory setting. Students must purchase their own books, supplies, and tools as required on the tool list.

Students completing all courses listed in the curriculum will be awarded an associate in applied science degree in Automotive Technology. Students completing all Automotive Technology courses, MTH 116, SPH 106, CIS 146, and ENG 101 will be awarded a program certificate. Admission is conditional and depends on the student's ability to perform the essential functions identified for this program. Reasonable accommodations are considered.
