Automotive Technology

The Automotive Technology Program provides students with the needed skills for a successful entry into an automotive servicing career. This field has many opportunities for employment. The Automotive industry is short of new technicians. The need for new technicians are in high demand. The jobs are there, so is the pay.

At Kaskaskia College we offer a college-level program that is certified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). Unlike like the expensive private colleges, we offer students quality education at an affordable price. Before graduation, all students must pass the ASE student certifications. We not only teach you how to fix a car, become certified; but also, how to go out and get a job after completing school.
