This two-year program will train students to work in the collision repair industry and prepare them to pursue post-secondary education or entry-level positions in the field. Working in a modern collision shop environment, students will be expected to learn skills in steel, aluminum and plastic welding, both steel and aluminum dent repair, plastic repair, automotive refinishing, detailing, and the safe use of tools and equipment specific to the collision repair industry. Assessing vehicle damage and writing repair estimates using CCC online estimating tool will also be covered in the course.

The program is based on the standards for collision put forth by the Automotive Service Excellence organization in collaboration with the National Automotive Technical Education Foundation (NATEF). Student certification will be required in safety through SP/2 and through I-Car pro level 1, non structural repairs, and pro level 1, automotive refinishing, during the 2 year program. Students and parents will be required to complete a safety questionnaire prior to starting the program and may be required to obtain respiratory clearance from a physician.
