The shop is designed to simulate an actual collision repair shop using the three top estimating and shop management platforms found in the industry.
The Estimating/Shop Management certificate graduates will be prepared to:
- identify types of vehicle construction

Any developmental coursework a student may be required to complete may increase the program length.
