Teacher Comments

The goal of our program is to prepare our students for basic entry-level positions in the automotive field. I try to instill in every student that education is a life-long process, and that each student has a responsibility to him or herself for their educational progress. At CTC we provide up-to-date materials, equipment, tools, and curriculum in order to enable students to move into an increasingly advancing technological society.

This class is very cool. You learn a lot about alignments, brakes, suspensions, electrical, etc. The class work is just as important as shop time and this class is the best class I have ever had.
