Diesel Equipment Technology Diploma

 

 

This program emphasizes a combination of diesel equipment theory and the practical application necessary for successful employment in a number of fields utilizing diesel technology.  Your diesel equipment technology education, obtainable in as little as 3 quarters (for an entry-level certification), to 6 quarters (a year and a half) for the full diploma, will qualify you for a vast number of jobs... repair everything from string trimmers to road pavers!

Typical Coursework Includes:

  • Basic Engine Theory
  • Powertrain Theory & Diagnostics
  • Engine Tune-Up & Performance
  • Suspensions
  • Electronics
  • Precision measuring
  • Tools & Safety
  • And much more!

 

 

Why Study Diesel Equipment Technology:

The internal-combustion engine invented by Rudolph Diesel has always been more fuel-efficient than the gas-powered engine that powers most cars. For that reason, diesel engines are used in a lot of other vehicles, from bulldozers to tugboats. They also provide power for generators. And they provide jobs for technicians (or, if you prefer, mechanics) who are trained to fix and maintain them.  For REAL job security and good pay, consider diesel mechanics!  You don't even need to have a mechanical background.  Why not apply today?
