A wide variety of positions in the world of automotive service require a number of similar, essential skills. But while these foundational skills should serve you well wherever you find work, it’s important to remember that many positions require a more specialized approach to training in education. Seeking a fast-paced, exciting career repairing automotive collision damage? Here’s how NYADI The College of Automotive and Diesel Technology’s Collision Repair Technology Certificate program can help you kick off your career on a positive note.

Thorough Collision Repair Instruction

NYADI’s Collision Repair Technology Certificate program spans three semesters and 48 credits, ensuring that there’s plenty of time to build the knowledge you need for success as an entry-level collision repair technician.

The curriculum begins by laying a solid foundation of general automotive knowledge. This is accomplished through several courses, including Performance Fundamentals, Steering and Suspension Systems and Automotive Electrical Foundations. However, throughout the course of your first semester, you’ll also work your way through key courses that aren’t covered by more general programs, such as Structural Analysis and Repair and Welding and Cutting.

As the program progresses, you’ll get into the nitty-gritty elements of collision repair that can help mark you as a distinguished candidate when it’s time to enter the professional workforce. Unibody Analysis and Repair helps you prepare for the unique challenges presented by damaged unibody vehicles, while Introduction to Refinishing brings you face to face with the materials and equipment used to help damaged cars and trucks look like new.

Despite this program’s differences from the others offered at NYADI, you’ll still go over subject matter that’s essential for any automotive service technician. This will include courses like Engine Electronics and Climate Control, which help ensure that you’re up to speed on the advanced technology that has become commonplace in modern passenger vehicles. Ultimately, the program will leave you with a well-rounded skill set that will be a valuable asset in a field that’s as complex and fast-paced as collision repair.
