Collaborative Programs & General Studies: Automotive
Automotive Technology is fully ASE certified and trains the student for an entry-level position in the automotive industry. Students spend 50 percent of their time in supervised shop practice and the other 50 percent in the classroom studying related theory. Certification through ASE is encouraged.
The Automotive Technology Program is a cooperative effort of Blue Ridge Community and Technical College and James Rumsey Technical Institute, located near Martinsburg, WV. Students will have to apply for admission to both Blue Ridge CTC and to James Rumsey Technical Institute.
Students in the Automotive Technology Program are subject to the Community and Technical College’s requirements for admissions, basic skills testing, and appropriate course placement, including mandated developmental courses, which are not counted toward completion of the program. Blue Ridge CTC Catalog requirements regarding academic standards, student conduct, and graduation procedures also apply.
