Sometimes they just need a little cosmetic change. But whatever they need, you'll know what to do when you finish FCCJ's Automotive Collision Repair and Refinishing program. Learn automotive painting, body repair, frame straightening, trim and custom painting, tinting, welding, and glass and sheet metal installation. In response to local industry needs, FCCJ's Tractor and Trailer program focuses on the service and repair of refrigeration equipment inside the big rigs carrying refrigerated containerized cargo. You can join the transportation industry as a refrigeration technician through this program.
Strong emphasis is placed on actual shop work associated with container refrigeration units.
You will learn the use of tools and equipment, servicing procedures, electrical controls, system evaluation, diagnosis and troubleshooting. After you've finished the program, look for jobs in paint and body shops, dealerships and garages. Get in on this high-dollar action as a marine engine or outboard motor mechanic through Florida Community College's Marine Service Technology program. You'll also study the service and repair of boating accessories. Courses include instruction in electrical, fuel, power transfer, ignition, cooling, lubrication and drive systems, as well as boat and trailer rigging.
