Automotive Maintenance Technology is a Certificate Of Technology program offered by Ranken Technical College in Wentzville, MO. The program takes 4 semesters to complete, with a total tuition of $35,616.
Program Overview
Today’s vehicles — from gas-powered to hybrid and electric — are high-tech machines packed with 30 to 100 microprocessors controlling everything from safety systems to infotainment. As automotive technology rapidly evolves, the demand for sharp, skilled technicians who can tackle complex, cutting-edge challenges is soaring. Ranken’s Automotive Maintenance Technology (AMT) program rises to meet this demand, delivering hands-on training and industry-driven knowledge that prepares students to succeed in top dealerships, repair shops, and advanced service facilities.
Ranken’s AMT program provides students with four semesters of hands-on training and instruction in diagnosing and repairing automotive problems in Domestic, Asian and European vehicles. The AMT program is modeled after the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Education Foundation certification program, which is the industry standard for technician certification. Students will take two ASE tests while attending the program.
During the last 40 days of the program, students will gain real-world experience as they participate in an internship with an employer or on-site automotive practicum in which they will service and repair customer vehicles.
