The content includes but is not limited to broad, transferable skills and stresses understanding and demonstration of the following elements of the Automotive industry; planning, management, finance, technical and product skills, underlying principles of technology, labor issues, community issues and health, safety, and environmental issues.

Additional Information relevant to this Career and Technical Education (CTE) program is provided at the end of this document.

Program Structure

This program is a planned sequence of instruction consisting of two occupational completion points.

NOTE:  It is recommended that students complete OCP-A (Automotive Maintenance Technician) and/or demonstrate mastery of the outcomes in OCP-A (Automotive Maintenance Technician) prior to enrolling in additional Advanced Automotive Service Technology courses. The sequence of OCP’s, after completing and/or demonstrating mastery of OCP-A (Automotive Maintenance Technician), is at the discretion of the instructor.

For institutions using this framework, the Automotive Service Excellence Education Foundation (ASEEF) highly recommends the Master Automotive Service Technology (MAST) program Certification/Accreditation.  Florida Statute (F.S.) 1004.925 – Automotive service technology education programs; certification. – requires all automotive service technology education programs shall be industry certified in accordance with rules adopted by the State Board of Education.

Benchmarks identified with a designation of P-1, P-2, or P-3 are ASE tasks. P-4 tasks are additional tasks that may be required by the manufacturer partner. P-4 tasks can be either instructor led or performed by the student as determined by the manufacturer’s curriculum.    

When offered at the postsecondary adult career and technical level, this program is comprised of courses which have been assigned course numbers in the SCNS (Statewide Course Numbering System) in accordance with Section 1007.24 (1), F.S.  Career and Technical credit shall be awarded to the student on a transcript in accordance with Section 1001.44 (3) (b), F.S.

To teach the course(s) listed below, instructors must hold at least one of the teacher certifications indicated for that course.

The following table illustrates the postsecondary program structure:

Additional Information

Laboratory Activities

Laboratory investigations that include scientific inquiry, research, measurement, problem solving, emerging technologies, tools and equipment, as well as, experimental, quality, and safety procedures are an integral part of this career and technical program/course. Laboratory investigations benefit all students by developing an understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, as well as the skills required to manage, operate, calibrate and troubleshoot equipment/tools used to make observations. Students understand measurement error; and have the skills to aggregate, interpret, and present the resulting data. Equipment and supplies should be provided to enhance hands-on experiences for students. 

Special Notes

Benchmarks identified with a designation of P-1, P-2, or P-3 are ASE tasks.

It is highly recommended that the program be ASEEF Master Certified and be approved by the appropriate industry manufacturer to provide manufacturer certification. Instructors must meet the specific manufacturer certification and be A1-A8 ASE Master certified, Advanced Engine Performance (L1) ASE Certification is also recommended.

Adult students with disabilities, as defined in Section 1004.02, Florida Statutes, may be exempted from meeting the Basic Skills requirements (Rule 6A-10.040).  Students served in exceptional student education (except gifted) as defined in s. 1003.01, F.S., may also be exempted from meeting the Basic Skills requirement.  Each school district and Florida College System Institution must adopt a policy addressing procedures for exempting eligible students with disabilities from the Basic Skills requirement as permitted in Section 1004.91.

Accommodations

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities to meet individual needs and ensure equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their counselor and/or instructors. Accommodations received in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary education. Accommodations change the way the student is instructed. Students with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments and assessments, time demands and schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems. Documentation of the accommodations requested and provided should be maintained in a confidential file.

Note: postsecondary curriculum and regulated secondary programs cannot be modified.
