Automotive and Diesel Technologies
The automotive and diesel technologies program at Florida Community College is one the most respected in the industry. We have close partnerships with successful automotive dealerships and businesses, as well as government and community officials in Northeast Florida. In fact, General Motors has selected us to train its new service technicians through the Automotive Service Education Program (ASEP).

Today’s automobile is a complex
combination of mechanical and computerized
systems operating together to ensure
occupant safety and low emissions. Each
year, new technology further enhances
our cars and trucks. Features that were
once “optional equipment” in
higher end vehicles are now standard
for every model. To keep up with evolving
technology, automobile technicians need
an aptitude for problem-solving and a
commitment to continuous education. A
high-paying future in this progressive
business without a degree or certificate
is virtually impossible.
Program graduates
have excellent employment opportunities.
Florida alone has a shortfall of nearly
40,000 qualified candidates. Many employment
opportunities exist for those who wish
to work while they complete their chosen
program.
Our automotive coursework is
certified by the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and
the National Automotive Technicians Education
Foundation (NATEF). Every instructor
has, at minimum, a two-year degree, ASE
certification and three years of industry
experience. Class sizes are limited to
ensure individual classroom instruction
and automotive lab training.
A choice
of programs can lead to a two-year associate
in science (A.S.) or associate in applied
science (A.A.S.) degree, or one of several
workforce certificates that can be completed
in a few months to two years with exit
points for specializations.
