General Information – Academic Programs

The automotive and diesel service marketplace demands technicians with strong and up-to-date training not only in the basics, but in electronics and computerization, as well. NYADI the college of automotive and diesel technology strives to provide the highest level of instruction required, utilizing the finest, most up-to-date, training resources. We believe that academic excellence and quality vocational/technical training will provide the student with the essential “tools of the trade” to begin a career as an entry-level technician and pass the ASE certification tests in the areas that they study. This is achieved through both theoretical instruction and “hands on” practical exercises, on equipment found in the field. Graduates will possess the skills necessary to effectively diagnose and service specialized automotive/heavy duty truck and diesel systems. Students will be prepared to meet the requirements of an ever-changing automotive/heavy duty truck and diesel and collision repair service market, thus enhancing the graduate’s technical value, marketability, and employment potential.

This program is designed to prepare students in five areas of ASE Education Foundation Automotive Certification and seven areas of ASE Medium/Heavy Truck Certifications. Graduates will be able to correctly test, diagnose, repair and adjust as necessary the components in the areas of gasoline engine performance, brakes, steering and suspension, electrical/electronic system, diesel engines, heavy duty chassis, and preventive maintenance inspection. The program is continually updated to provide the theoretical knowledge and “real-world” skills required to service the latest vehicles and ensure customer satisfaction. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be prepared to begin careers as Truck and Diesel Technicians and related support positions.
