AUTO BODY PROGRAM

 

 

The Auto Body Program will acquaint students with the materials, tools, equipment, and procedures commonly used in the auto collision repair industry to refurnish modern vehicles. Emphasis will be placed on working safely in a refinishing facility and in gaining the entry level skills in vehicle surface preparation, masking, painting, jambs, refinishing and detailing using the most recent techniques and materials necessary to successfully work in a refinishing facility today.

It is possible for high school students to get a major portion of their training completed while in high school.  High school credit is available for all classes, based on the class and the hours attended.

Automotive Service Technicians and Mechanics have been selected as one of Utah’s “Four Star” occupations. Actual growth in demand for this occupation will make up the majority of the new job openings. With a projected 33 percent increase over the decade, this occupation will grow faster than average.
