PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Fort Hays Tech | Northwest
Automotive Technology program allows
you to start with and develop the basic
fundamentals before advancing to
the necessary job skills and related
work procedures needed to gain
employment in the automotive industry.
This progression will include the use
of technical service manuals, testing
equipment, electronic ignition systems,
rear, front, and four-wheel drive, and
power steering and brakes.
We are continually updating our
curriculum to assure that you, our
students, are able to work with the
same tools and equipment found in the
industry today. As advanced technology
is introduced with new automobiles each
year, electronics are used in brakes,
transmission, steering systems, and a
variety of other components. You will use
the latest with up-to-date computerized
diagnostic devices and much more.
The shop training is set up in a very
similar way to repair bays in an
automotive dealership. We schedule
customer work from the community so
that the learning environment is hands-
on for job training. You learn actual on-
the-job procedures for trouble shooting,
looking up parts, figuring a job sheet and
relating with customers.
Stackable credentials and industry
certification opportunities available.
