The UTTC Automotive Technology program initially earned ASE certification in 2013 and has been continuously accredited since that time. Based on the most recent visit in October 2024, the program’s ASE certification was continued until 2030. The ASE Education Foundation is a non-profit, independent organization that evaluates and accredits entry-level technician training programs against standards developed by the automotive industry.
ASE accreditation recognizes nationally accepted standards of excellence in instruction, training facilities and equipment. As an ASE accredited program, UTTC students are trained in the many service and diagnostic procedures necessary to maintain vehicles of all sizes and shapes, using modern laboratories equipped with current service and testing equipment. It’s a seal of approval many employers actively seek out.
