Bahamas Automotive Technical College teaches three levels of training; the first level of training is called “General Auto Mechanics”; the second level of training is an apprenticeship program; the third level of training is “ASE specialist courses”.

There are nine-specialist areas in Auto Mechanics that we teach at Bahamas Automotive Technical College; they are called A1 through A8 and L1.

A1 specialist area is engine repair. A2 specialist area is automatic transmission repair. A3 specialist area is standard transmission (gearbox) repair. A4 specialist area is front-end, suspension and wheel alignment. A5 specialist area is brakes repair. A6 specialist area is electrical repair. A7 specialist area is air condition and heater repair. A8 specialist area is engine performance diagnostics and repair. Upon completion and successfully passing an international “ASE” examination the student will receive certification for each area of ASE. After certification in A1 through A8 the student will automatically receive certification as “master technician”. After becoming a master technician the student can take the ASE L1 (advanced engine performance specialist) preparation course.

Duration of courses: The duration is three months for each ASE course.

Students will receive a certificate for each ASE course that they successfully complete and pass a written examination. (This certification is local from Bahamas Automotive Technical College but students who pass the international ASE examination will also receive a certificate from ASE).
