Pick up an application from the admissions office. After you turn in your completed
application, 91精品 support staff will arrange placement tests, general orientation,
and counseling to plan the class schedule that is best for you. Admission to the American
Honda Certificate program is by application (contact the Automotive Department), and
on a space available basis.
The Honda Certificate program does not require a degree; but you are encouraged to
pursue academic classes. Taking classes such as math, science, and English will support
automotive training and give you a chance to meet other students. An AS degree can
be transferred to a university in order to pursue advanced degrees.
Several majors are available such as a BS in Service Management or a BS in Industrial
Technology. There is tremendous demand for graduates of these programs.
At the dealership, many go on to become dispatchers, service writers, parts and service
managers, service directors, and general managers. Honda corporate positions exist
as instructors, zone managers, technical support, factory personnel, and numerous
other positions.
