National/State Certification

Auto Technology students receive a certificate upon graduation stating that they have completed the year-long program. To receive a Pennsylvania Skills Certificate from the state, students must pass a comprehensive written and performance test at the end of the school year. Employers consider this certificate proof that the student has demonstrated competency in both the overall knowledge and the hands-on skills necessary to function as an entry-level technician.

In addition to the state certificates, the Sun Tech Auto Technology Program is one of about 10 in Pennsylvania to achieve certification by the National Institute For Automotive Service Excellence in such areas as engine performance, electrical systems, heating and air conditioning, brakes, suspension and steering.
