Auto Body Each damaged vehicle presents a new problem to be solved. Auto Body Technicians solve these problems by using special equipment and tools to straighten frames, remove dents and replace parts. This two-year course meets industry standards and will prepare students for employment or further training in a field that predicts steady employment rates. Second-year students also have the opportunity to work on their own vehicles and both programs provide qualifying students access to internships at auto body repair facilities. Students have the option of attending the program for one year.
