Interested in learning more about our automotive programs? Attend one of our Monthly Information Sessions and speak to one of our instructors.
At the time of internship placement, second semester, dealerships/shops will conduct a criminal background check on students applying for placement. A satisfactory criminal background report is conditional for internship placement.
Issues affecting a background check may hinder a students’ participation in an internship program and may prevent a student from completing the program and/or securing a job upon graduation.
Students must be 18 years old to start the program.
**Due to the demand and popularity of automotive programs (Automotive Technology, Ford ASSET, Heavy Diesel, Mercedes-Benz, & Mopar CAP) at Gwinnett Technical College, new students must contact AutomotiveDivision@GwinnettTech.edu immediately after applying to the college to complete a program advisement form. Acceptance into Gwinnett Technical College does not guarantee immediate placement within these programs.
