The program prepares you with the knowledge and skills to repair, service and maintain all types of vehicles. Unlike auto repair schools in the past, Washburn Tech provides training that uses high tech diagnostic and repair tools on a fleet of late model vehicles in a new, cutting-edge facility. Instruction includes basic theory and familiarization of automotive components, engine repair and performance, steering and suspension, automatic and manual transmission, brakes and electricity/electronics. The program is nationally certified and includes both classroom and hands-on learning. Tools and tool boxes are provided by Washburn Tech. Attending full-time, you can complete the program in two semesters, while part-time and high school students can finish in four semesters. Upon completion, you will earn a 52-credit-hour technical certificate and be eligible to complete an associate degree or more advanced degrees at Washburn University.
