Program Description

The development of a viable diesel training program will solve a multitude of shortcomings in the diesel field. Technical training will enable companies to add to the expertise of their staff members by being able to hire local students at an entry level position. Through classroom and shop demonstrations, students will become familiar with the theories, principles and operation procedures of thee diesel engine, air brake systems, hydraulic brake systems, steering systems, suspension systems, general electric systems, and preventative maintenance.

Graduates of this program can expect to be able to find positions in the diesel field as entry level technicians and with experience and continued education will be able to work their way to becoming Master Technicians.
