GM dealers asked to support ASEP training at NOVA, Alexandria

Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria, which has offered GM ASEP training for over 30 years and provided the region with hundreds of skilled GM technicians, is asking GM dealers in the area to support the program going forward.

GM ASEP students receive training exclusively on the latest GM products, using a GM approved curriculum. The program is NATEF Certified and taught by GM trained instructors. Students alternate between attending college and working at a sponsoring GM dealership for two years. The cycle is typically 8 weeks in class and 8 weeks working at the dealership during the coordinated, paid internship portion of the program. The result is a solid education combined with invaluable work experience.

The GM ASEP program is also structured to provide the student with the necessary skills for success in the automotive service field. This not only includes their automotive training, but academic courses as well. The student earns an associates degree upon successful completion of the program along with credit for over 80% of their GM STS training. This strong academic foundation of math, reading, and communications coupled with the technical training provides a well-rounded individual that is perfectly suited for the fast paced environment of todays new car dealership, says Keith Brown GM ASEP instructor at NOVA Alexandria.

GM dealers interested in sponsoring an ASEP student are urged to contact: Keith Brown, GM ASEP Instructor at 703-845-4623 (o) or keibrown@nvcc.edu
