The Auto Body Technician - Refinishing certificate prepares students to perform duties required within the paint shop of most collision repair companies.
This program consists of two quarters of training. Students will spend their first quarter of training in a transportation core curriculum offered every quarter. The second quarter will consist of four refinishing classes offered once a year. The shop is designed to simulate an actual paint shop and includes state-of-the-art downdraft paint booths, prep booths, paint mixing booth, and professional gun cleaning room.
Refinishing certificate graduates will be able to:
- identify and use refinishing tools, equipment, and supplies
- prep vehicles for painting
- paint vehicles using various paint products
- detail vehicles to be delivered to a customer
Lake Washington Institute of Technology does not offer every course each quarter. It is the student’s responsibility to consult the Class Schedule and work out an individual schedule with an adviser or counselor. Any developmental coursework a student may be required to complete may increase the program length.
