Auto Collision Repair |
|
Associate in Applied Science Degree |

Curriculum Code: 0188 (Effective Fall 2004 - Summer 2009) |
|
|
|
Auto collision repair technicians possess the necessary skills
to perform collision repair and refinishing according to the
"manufacturer's specifications." Using hand and power tools,
they straighten bent frames and body sections, replace badly
damaged parts, smooth out minor dents and creases, remove rust,
fill small holes and renew painted surfaces. Auto collision
repair technicians are employed by collision repair shops, new
car dealerships, refinishing businesses and auto restoration
shops. Formal training is highly desirable, because advances in
technology in recent years have greatly changed the structure,
the components and even the materials used in automobiles. The
Auto Collision Repair Program is certified by the National
Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). Although
this curriculum does not provide state certification, state
certification tests are available at any Michigan Secretary of
State Office. |
