The automobiles of the future will be equally complex, or more so, than those being manufactured today. These vehicles will require body repair techniques that only a highly skilled Automotive Body Technician can provide; thus the need has been established to provide state-of-the-art training for those individuals who desire to enter this demanding field.
The Autobody Repair program offers the latest automotive and autobody repair techniques. Emphasis focuses on the collision repair of the unibody structure and related systems. Lectures and laboratory work will be reinforced with extensive hands-on training.
Applicants for this program should be aware that success in this field requires enthusiastic performance and dedication to quality repair. Entering students must possess a valid New York State driver’s license and a professional tool set as prescribed by the Automotive Department. In addition, students must wear uniforms, purchase required manuals and adhere to the attendance policy of the department. Attendance is mandatory.
