The Automotive Powertrain Technology Certificate of Achievement will provide learning opportunities related to vehicle Powertrain systems such as: Vehicle Electrical Systems, Internal Combustion Engines, Automatic and Manual Transmissions, Differentials, Drivelines, 4WD and AWD systems.
Courses included in this program meet the prerequisite requirements for indivudual completion.
Upon the completion of the program the student should be able to:
1. Students completing the Chabot Automotive Technology AS Degree or Certificate Training will be prepared to obtain employment in the automotive industry.
2. Students completing the Chabot Automotive Technology AS Degree or Certificate Training will be able to demonstrate the expertise needed to perform vehicle maintenance, service, diagnosis, and repair of current vehicles. They will display the confidence to perform automotive operations in a timely and professional manner with limited supervision. Students will also demonstrate an ethical code conforming to the highest standards of the automotive industry.
The Automotive program consistently maintains a 200+unduplicated student population. Typically, Automotive students complete all of the courses offered as they prepare for industry employment.
