Our reputation is what we work to maintain in providing Accredited (ASEF) Automotive Education that is beneficial to both, our students and Industry partners. Our enrollment, retention, graduation and placement rates. are all well above average. We are always working to improve our program and the quality of education, emphasizing good work ethic and soft skill aside from the obligatory automotive knowledge.
