Collision Repair

(*Must teach three courses from this program list within two years) The collision repair program is divided into two divisions, collision repair and refinishing. This program is designed to train students

to successful repair accidental damage and to refinish vehicles. Emphasis is placed on safety, plasma arc cutting and oxyacetylene

cutting, resistance type spot welding, and metal inert gas (MIG) welding. This course incorporates all personal and environmental

safety practices associated with clothing; respiratory protection; eye protection; tools; power equipment; proper ventilation; and the

handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals and materials in accordance with local, state, and federal safety and environmental

regulations. Refinishing skills learned in this program may also carry over into many other industries through manufacturing finishing

of products. All programs are NATEF accredited and students are eligible to receive ASE credentials. ICAR curriculum and

credentials are being utilized in many programs.
