A basic mechanical ability, as well as previous mechanical
experience, is helpful in the Diesel Mechanics studies,
but not required. Students will be trained in a modern,
clean training facility with an emphasis on quality of work
as well as good work ethics.
Graduates of the Diesel Mechanics program can find work
in new truck and farm and construction equipment dealerships,
independent repair shops, specialty shops, fleet repair
facilities, and a number of other diesel related facilities.
Program graduates receive a diesel mechanics diploma which
certifies them as having successfully completed the Diesel
Mechanics program.
The WHAYNETECH Scholarship is available to high school seniors
enrolling the College's Diesel Technology program. Contact
