Heavy Duty Truck and Bus Mechanics (Diesel Technology) (5616) |
| |
|
| |
The Heavy Duty Truck and Bus Technician program is designed to provide the training and skills required for entry-level employment as a diesel truck technician. Courses covering advanced topics and specialized training areas make them also suitable for the currently employed technician to up-grade their skills. The program is structured to meet the needs of the numerous trucking and diesel equipment companies located in the Jacksonville area.
A combination of classroom instruction and hands-on shop experience enables the student to perform the diagnostic and repair procedures with understanding and confidence. Equipment and tools are furnished for the student while they are enrolled in the program. Students may attend either day or evening classes (to accomodate the student's work schedule).
Instruction includes diagnosis and repair of diesel engines (fuel, lubricating, cooling, and electrical/electronic systems) and associated truck/bus systems (brakes, drive train, steering, suspension, air conditioning and hydraulic systems). The student learns troubleshooting skills, shop practices and the service and maintenance of heavy duty trucks and buses to industry standards.
