"The hands-on learning experience that the program provides is invaluable."

"The transportation technology program is amazing. I've learned more about cars in the past two years than I ever could have on my own. The teachers are absolutely awesome and are so knowledgeable. The students are enthusiastic and come from all sorts of different backgrounds. Everyone helps each other out, and there's a real sense of camaraderie. The hands-on learning experience that the program provides is invaluable, especially in a field like this where you really need to have hands-on experience. I’ve been able to fix my own car a few times because of what I've learned in this program. The program has been great for someone like me who has always loved cars but never had an opportunity to really learn about them. It’s been a lot of fun, and I would highly recommend the program to anyone who wants to learn more about cars."
