Professional Automotive Career Training (PACT)
Our Associate in Science degree in Honda Automotive Technology is a partnership with the Professional Automotive Career Training (PACT) program of American Honda. The PACT program provides you with the technical skills and training to become a service department professional specializing in maintenance and repair of Honda and Acura automobiles.
NCC’s two-year degree program will set you on the path to being a Honda Master Technician. Training includes;
- Hands-on lab work
- Course work on automotive theory and engine repair
- General education courses, and a paid internship working at a Honda/Acura dealership.
Our “live work” approach helps students apply skills and build knowledge by performing work on real vehicles needing repair. Experienced faculty guide high-tech training, and provide individual instruction with small class size.
As a graduate, you will be prepared to take the Automotive Serve Excellence (ASE) technician certification exam.
