“Upon reviewing the GM-ASEP program, I decided that it was the way to go. I couldn’t have been any more correct. The two-year program was probably the best career decision I have made. It was an amazing experience and some of the most informative training that I could have possibly received.”

“I loved that my classes were hands-on, and that we could develop a really close relationship with our instructors. I got individual attention and just got really good knowledge from all of my instructors. The labs at school were definitely the best part of the program.”

“People look at a car and open the hood and see all the hoses and connections, and maybe think, ‘I am never going to figure this out.' Then you learn the basic concepts, and it’s more simplistic than you would think.”

“Everything I learned in the program, from engine reps to air conditioning, has to do with what I do now. If I hadn’t taken the Auto Tech classes, there’s no way I’d know how to do what I do now.”

“The labs I worked in at Dallas College had all of the latest equipment, and that’s what I learned on. I think that my advanced training is part of what helped me move up the career ladder; I just knew a lot more than most of my peers because of my training.”
