to pursue an education, regardless of financial resources. We are here to guide you

more accessible.
Steps to Financial Aid

The Collision Engineering Program seeks people with passion, a strong work ethic,
and a willingness to learn. Upon Admission, students must obtain an apprenticeship
with a qualified collision repair center. The majority of employers will require a valid driver's license and clean driving record, a clean
drug test, and a high school diploma or equivalent.
Because hand tools are required of each student, we ask that you make every attempt
to secure tools within the first three weeks of class. In order to ease the financial
burden, the tool list has been divided into two parts—a first semester tool list and
a second semester tool list. The tools listed here represent the minimum selection
necessary in order to effectively fulfill course requirements.
