Daytona State College’s Automotive Service Technology Program Re-Accredited

DSC’s automotive program has been nationally re-accredited. (DSC)

Daytona State College’s Automotive Service Technology program has been re-accredited by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that accredits automotive service programs.




“There is tremendous demand for skilled automotive service technicians,” said Tom LoBasso, President of Daytona State College. “ASE’s accreditation is the gold standard and reflects our commitment to provide students with the education and skills they need to pursue a successful and rewarding career.”

ASE accreditation provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards for training automobile technicians at one of three Automobile Service Technology levels. Daytona State College is certified at the highest level, MASTER. Graduation from an ASE accredited college means a student should have similar training from any other ASE accredited college nationwide. Professional certification is the top standard for the profession. Information about professional licensure can be obtained at https://www.aseeducationfoundation.org.

“We are strong supporters and believers in ASE certifications,” said Casey Knecht, Automotive Service Technology’s Assistant Chair. “With these credentials you are typically more desirable and paid more than others without them.”

The Automotive Service Technology program prepares students to enter the rapidly changing and highly technical automotive industry and prepares students to be successful on Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) tests A1 through A8. The entire program is 1,800 hours and can be completed in two years. The courses are offered in sequence during the day and evening at the Advanced Technology College. Students will either select a Day or Evening track and program is divided into nine occupational completion points or courses.

    Bravo, Daytona State College!

    Gone are the days of the “Grease Monkey” stereotype of the car repairman, too “dense” to attend college.

    Cars have become “rolling computers” with high tech sensors, cameras, and now EV options. Keeping up with repair trends, and the diagnostic demands of new generations of vehicles, isn’t an easy thing to just pass down to the next generation (as it was, frequently in past generations). Many learned by just observing and doing.

    Today, those “technicians” must be highly trained, able to diagnose (much like doctors) complex mechanical problems, and know what they are doing to repair the problem.

    The BIGGEST change in the industry in the past generation is that high quality car repair is not just a “guy” thing. Large percentages of the “ladies” are joining the ranks of qualified automotive technicians. And the salaries are also improving…$60k and higher for EXPERIENCED/CERTIFIED workers (as our repair bills unfortunately are showing).

    It’s great to see that local students have such a progressive and qualified educational program NEARBY, and they (hopefully) can find local jobs to keep YOUNG families in the area!

    Now we just have to hope our current Florida State Legislature and Administration doesn’t find cause to CHANGE the curriculum, because some parts of the training course are considered WOKE….(that was SARCASM, for those that didn’t catch it).

    BRAVO especially to the dedicated teachers and professors at the College for keeping the program a shining example of what Florida educational opportunities SHOULD be!
