I’m looking at signing up for classes for auto tech at HVCC and since i know some members go to HVCC for it i figured i’d ask here. What are the classes like? How are the teachers? What kind of knowledge do you gain from the classes? How do you like the program overall? ---

i did the GM program but a lot is the same classes are very informative as long as you keep up with them, and ask questions if you don’t understand something… you can’t be a wall flower in these classes because every person in the class has a different background in automotive teachers for the most part are very cool people with a ton of good knowledge you learn about every part of the car, brakes,engine, suspension,electrical, transmission, wheels and tires, chassie they cover all of it i got a lot out of the program, and still to this day am glad i took it. i don’t work on cars anymore for a living but i do work in the automotive field still, and have that knowledge as a base is priceless ---

I did the Automotive Technical Services. Not a manufacturer specific program, but just as good. You get A lot of hands on experience. Teachers are great. Every one of them is full of information. It’s a great program. I’d do it again any day ---

I took it and really didnt think the program was all that great but maybe things have changed since I went. To me there was way too much class/book work and not enough time spent hands on. Definately not enough time spent on diagnosis- the diagnosis class didnt even have a lab. Other classes were a joke where the teacher just fooled around and got paid but didnt really teach much. ---

i am going to be graduating in a few weeks from this program. i took the general automotive course. classes are pretty straight forward and not difficult for the most part. teachers are awesome, some of the best ive had yet in any of my schooling. you learn about pretty much every subject in the automotive field: engine rebuilding, transmission rebuilding, electronics, fuels, chassis components (hvac, brakes, suspension), vehicle diagnosis its good stuff, and if you should like it, i did. ---
