About the Program
The purpose of this program is to provide specialized classroom instruction and practical shop experience to prepare individuals to engage in entry-level service and maintenance positions in the automotive industry. The program prepares students to safely use and maintain hand tools, power tools, jacks, and hoisting equipment. Instruction in the diagnosis and repair of engines, fuel systems, drive train, electrical systems, brake systems, and suspension systems are included. The competencies in the automotive technology training program directly correlate with the knowledge required for the certification test given by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

The NLTCC is an online library, which means that our resources are provided electronically. Electronic resources (eresources) are some of the most valuable and convenient library resources that faculty and students can use to enhance research and learning. Additionally, these resources can be accessed from anywhere at anytime as long as there is internet access. These resources include electronic books (ebooks), electronic journals (ejournals), reference databases, statistical databases, and multi-media collections.
The NLTCC Library is a member of The Louisiana Library Network (LOUIS). LOUIS is a consortia of private and public academic libraries and is supported by the Louisiana Board of Regents.
Eresources can be some of the most costly to acquire. However, LOUIS works on behalf of its members to leverage state-wide purchases in order to minimize costs and maximize access. The electronic databases provided by LOUIS support the core curricula in all two- and four-year colleges and universities.
