The objective of this new certificate is to offer students opportunities to gain skills and knowledge in Diesel Bus Technology. San Joaquin Delta College in partnership with local industry has developed an academic program that prepares the students for the Diesel Bus Technician Certificate. This aligns their skills with current industry standards and certifications. Industry recognized that certifications provide measurable benefits to the Diesel Bus Technician students and their employers and requested a certificate program be developed. This certificate can be stacked upon by other certificates and degrees such as the Diesel Equipment Technician Associate in Science Degree.
