The student spends alternating quarters in class and working in a sponsoring Honda or Acura dealership. Students must be sponsored in a Honda or Acura dealership before they are admitted to the program. Shoreline Community College offers an Associate degree in Applied Arts and Science (AAAS) for students interested in entering the automotive service industry. American Honda's Professional Automotive Career Training (PACT) Program provides students with the fundamental skills to succeed in the workplace along with valuable hands-on experience. Students alternate quarters between classroom instruction and paid dealership training. As students progress through the curriculum, they learn about the major automobile components and systems, including brakes, suspension, emissions, transmissions, electrical systems, heating and air conditioning, power trains and engine management systems. Students develop skills in automotive diagnostics, tune-ups and repairs. Students also develop an understanding of automotive service business principles as they apply to the service technician. In their internship placement, students work under the guidance of a master technician at a sponsoring American Honda dealership. These paid internships give students the opportunity to integrate their learning and further develop their skills in service technology.
Career Opportunities The placement rate for this program is 100%. Upon completion, graduates are hired by their sponsoring dealership. The demand for dealer trained technicians should remain strong over the next decade.
