NOVA CC Auto Tech Classes to Begin in January[]/CENTER]
WANADA will hold a 16-week auto technician training class at Northern Virginia Community Collegeês Alexandria Campus beginning in January 2008. The class will be Brakes, but could also include Suspension & Steering, as WANADA is working with the college to further expand its class offerings.
The class is perfect for aspiring vehicle technicians in fixed operations who want to pursue a career in the auto tech field. Alternatively, WANADA will recruit a potential applicant for interested dealers. Student techs add to service department productivity and profitability at a nominal cost and studies show that employees provided training tend to stay with their employer. Most importantly, the WANADA ADEI Program results in a line technician when completed.
The WANADA tech training program combines a structured classroom, shop and interactive curriculum with full time, on-the-job training. The industry created, NATEF-approved curriculum trains students for the ASE exams.Classes are taught by professional educators one day a week at NOVA’s Alexandria campus. WANADA provides hands-on, regular contact with the dealer service manager, instructor and student to ensure program success.
Dealers provide student participants with a full-time job, understanding that the new employee will attend classes one full day a week (either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday).
Tuition is a $1,000, which includes tools – a nominal cost compared to other technician training programs.
