The Automotive Technology department at Pratt Community College works on an "experience the learning" concept and is fully certified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, Inc. (NATEF) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). The automotive technology students work in a shop environment with state of the art equipment that they will find in the auto industry.

The qualified faculty are all ASE certified master technicians and are constantly learning the latest technology by interning in the auto industry both locally and nationally during the summers.
Not only will students have the opportunity to earn an occupational certificate or an Associate of Applied Science degree, they may also obtain a Bachelor of Science in Technology Leadership through an exclusive cooperative with Fort Hays State University. These courses are provided on the PCC campus and online and can be completed as a full-time or part-time student.

Students will also have the chance to participate in a race car project, car shows and several other activities. All these experiences prepare students to test to become ASE certified prior to graduation, enhancing the students’ earning potential and career opportunities.
