*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101 course, Transitioning to College, goes into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college in the spring 2010 semester (meaning you have not previously successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101 during your first semester at CCBC, thereby increasing the number of credits required for the degree to 70 credits. PLEASE NOTE: If you are new to college and completed one or more credit courses successfully at CCBC in the fall 2009 semester, you are ENCOURAGED but NOT REQUIRED to take ACDV 101 in the spring 2010 semester.
Program Description:
The Automotive Collision Repair and Refinishing program prepares students for employment in the collision repair industry. Available occupations include collision repair technology, paint repair technician, body shop office personnel, material supplier, sales, glass technician, and related positions within insurance companies. Skills learned during the program include: basic skills, sheet metal repair procedures, estimating, related mechanical and electrical repairs, human relations, employability skills, safe work practices, and entrepreneurship. An experienced Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified instructor delivers all instruction.
Consumers tend to keep their cars longer, and every year more crowd onto the highways. Both factors create a need for more body and paint repair technicians. The learning experiences included in the Automotive Collision Repair and Refinishing program prepare graduates for certification and employment within local body shops.
Students who choose this curriculum and want to transfer to a four-year institution should check with the program coordinator and/or an academic advisor. Courses may be taken in any sequence as long as prerequisites are met. Some courses may be offered in alternate semesters only.
