Automotive Technology A.S.E
Program Description
The Automotive Technology program is an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)–National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) program. The uniqueness of our program is that it goes against conventional wisdom regarding the field of automotive technology.
Paramus students are trained to be proactive diagnosticians rather than reactive mechanics.
The program combines classroom instruction with specified instruction in our fully equipped automotive lab.
Throughout their technical studies of the NATEF Maintenance and Light Repair(MLR) curriculum, students are required to frequently take assessments that mirror the ASE exam, conduct research, and utilize online programs such as CDX.
Students in the program are tracked through competencies and proficiencies in all eight ASE areas: Engine Repair, Engine Performance, Electrical/Electronic Systems, Brakes, Heating and Air Conditioning, Suspension and Steering, Manual Drive Train and Axles, and Automatic Transmission.
Upon completion of their studies, students are required to sit for all eight of the ASE-based exams.
