Welcome to the Automotive Training Program Automotive technology has been taught at E.H.S. for several decades now. It is one of the many programs available in the CTE department. The program is housed in its own dedicated building comprised of the classroom facility, the workshop, and the instructor’s office. Three courses are available in the following sequence order. Automotive Technology I, an introduction to automotive technology is offered to first year students. Automotive Technology II is available for second year students and for those students that are pretty sure they want to enter a post-secondary program and/or enter the automotive field as a career. We offer Automotive Technology III, an automotive repair and maintenance class. This is a great course offered to third year students. Descriptions of these courses are provided below. Students are be taught by an ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified instructor. The curricula at conforms to 2008 ASE/ NATEF’s (National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation) stringent guidelines. Tech Prep (college) credits can be earned in this class.

CTE – Career and Technical Education

Career and Technical Education courses offer students a focused course of study, preparing them for successful transition into post secondary educational programs. These programs include entrance into apprenticeships, technical/trade schools, community colleges, universities, and/or direct entry into careers. Each course of study offers applied academics, industry specific skill attainment, general workplace skill instruction, and leadership experiences in the classroom and after school.

ASE / NATEF

National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is responsible for certifying the individual technicians, and NATEF (National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation) is responsible for certifying the training facility. Enumclaw High School Automotive Technology Program is currently in the process of becoming a NATEF certified pre-employment lab. Currently, Enumclaw High School Automotive Technology Program has enough instructional hours over the course of three years to cover four of the eight areas offered by NATEF for the automotive program. These areas are 1) brakes (105 hours), 2) steering and suspension (95 hours), 3) electrical and electronics (230 hours), and 4) engine performance (220 hours). There will be some coverage of Engine Repair, Transmissions/Transaxle and Drive Train and Drive Axles, Heating and Air Conditioning.

Achieving ASE Certification for Automotive Training Programs

The motor vehicle repair industry has taken on a new sophistication. It requires advanced technical training and computer literacy. Today's automotive technician must have:

Thorough knowledge of automotive systems and components Good computer skills Excellent communication skills Above average mechanical aptitude Good reasoning ability to read and follow instructions Manual dexterity

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, jobs as automotive service professionals will be plentiful for persons who finish training programs in high school, vocational or technical school, or community college. To help vocational educators recruit, mentor, and train tomorrow's technicians, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) offers certification for technician training programs. The purpose of the automotive technician training certification program is to improve the quality of training offered at secondary and post-secondary, public and proprietary schools. Programs can earn ASE certification upon the recommendation of the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). NATEF was founded to develop, encourage, and improve automotive technician education. NATEF examines the structure and resources of training programs and evaluates them against nationally accepted standards of quality. Precise national standards set by NATEF reflect the skills that students must master. ASE certification through NATEF evaluation ensures that certified training programs meet or exceed industry-recognized, uniform standards of excellence.

Benefits of Certification

Certification of an automotive training program brings with it program credibility, prestige, recognition, and overall program improvement. The certification process benefits everyone: schools, students, future employers, and the automotive service industry. Specific benefits of program certification are noted below:

For schools, program certification:

Increases potential for funding from public and corporate sources Provides a mechanism for recruiting students based on demonstrated

program excellence

For students:

Provides a means of identifying quality programs meeting national standards Ensures that training received is current, complete, and applicable

For employers:

Ensures a pool of well-trained' entry-level technicians Encourages involvement with the schools through the advisory committee

Skills lessons include self-assessments to communications skills, ethics, conflict resolution, government awareness, time management skills, career research and more.

Use of the PDP encourages local business involvement in the training of tomorrow's entry-level workers. The curriculum can be used as an individual self-development course or for group instruction. It can be integrated into the existing curriculum or used as a separate course of study. Students are recognized for individual achievement as they develop their professional and occupational skills” (www.skillsusa.org).

South King County Tech Prep

Tech Prep is a national educational initiative. It is a college preparatory program that provides students with skills and abilities needed by business and industry. High school students have the opportunity to get a jump-start on their career by preparing for a college technical degree program at their local high school. They can earn BOTH high school AND community/technical college credit (this is called dual credit) for completing select high school courses with a grade “B” (3.0) or better, at no cost to the students or parents! Through articulation agreements, developed between high school teachers and community/technical college instructors, high school students can earn college credit if they earn a “B” (3.0) or better in select classes.
