Automotive
Service Technology prepares high school and adult students for
entry-level careers in all eight areas of specialization as established by
the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence.
"I came from Michigan to pursue my dream, a career in the
automotive field. I heard that SCTI offered one of the best programs in
the nation! I'm glad I made the move," says Cecil Day, Jr. (pictured

Students begin
training in the Automotive CORE, which
stresses the scientific method of problem solving. Students may specialize

"I
am taking the automotive class because I wanted to challenge myself. I
wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and excel in something I
never thought I would. It helps that I love cars."
