Collision Repair Technology

Collision Repair is still among one of the fastest growing industries in demand of well-trained technicians.

Collision Repair students are trained in the latest equipment and processes in metal straightening, body filler application/sanding, and the refinishing of automotive body and components. Students are educated in the Collision Repair trade integrating theory from the classroom and performance assessment in the shop.

Students are exposed to all facets of the Collision Repair Industry and the possible career paths and opportunities available to them within the trade. Students also practice good work ethics with a concentration on the quality of their work. Assignments in the Collision Repair Shop are both challenging and sometimes unique, in this project-based, NATEF-certified setting.
