The Automotive Technology program is designed to develop entry level employment skills
for those seeking career opportunities in the automotive repair field. As long as
there are vehicles on the road, there will always be a need for highly skilled automotive
technicians to maintain, service, and repair them.
According to Washington State labor market information, over 2,500 annual job openings
are projected in automotive related industries. The agricultural equipment service
and repair industry also provides employment opportunities for our graduates. A high-tech
career in automotive technology gives a person job mobility with the security of knowing
that his/her skills will always be in demand.
A student in the BBCC automotive program receives training in all eight ASE Certification areas. Modern repair and diagnostic test equipment is used in training the student to accurately repair the complex vehicles of today. The curriculum also includes shop safety and environmental training, Industrial First Aid Certification, EPA Section 609 Refrigerant Certification, basic welding skills, and hydraulics, as well as degree required general education classes. Graduates of the Automotive Technology program obtain employment as automotive repair technicians and in related occupations such as automotive parts merchandising, alignment, tire service, and fleet maintenance.
