Looking for a new direction with your
career? Check out the Maricopa Skill Center Auto Body program!
This January an exciting new enrollment plan launched for
the Auto Body program at MSC. Students are now moving through the Auto Body
Basic Metal Repair and Refinishing certificate program as a cohort. The
students will finish the program in mid August.
Program details:
Students are in class from 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Monday-Thursday. It is a 1011 clock hour program that takes approximately eight
months to complete.
What students learn while in the cohort:
Students first have essentials
for auto body and then move onto Occupational Safety and Health Administration
standards for auto body.
Next is the Introduction to Repair. Students learn MIG
welding, paint-less dent removal and plastic bumper repair. Students learn how
to repair 3 panels and one plastic bumper during their time in introduction.
After that, there is Introduction to Refinishing. The
students paint the panels they repaired in the Introduction to Repair. Once
painted, students learn detailing of vehicles.
Students then move to Auto Body Metal Repair where they
learn frame repair and using a frame alignment machine. Students are required
to work on one vehicle to finish the section of the course. Students’ personal vehicles
can be worked on or they can team up with a classmate who has one.
To finish the program, students then move onto Auto Body
Refinishing and they are required to refinish the vehicle they repaired.
I-CAR Certification:
All students have to pass Inter-Industry
Conference on Auto Collision Repair certification exam before graduation. I-CAR
is an international organization dedicated to the training in collision repair.
The certification helps the student look more marketable when applying for
jobs. The students complete a total of
14 tests to get certified. All tests are taken online and at the students
convenience.
After graduation:
The students can look forward to
apprentice level jobs as painters or metal repair in shops.

As long as there are cars that people love, there will be auto body shops. Getting a car looking good after a fender bender or rust takes away from it is the first step most people think of when there is damage. Winter probably increases the number of repairs because of sliding on ice and minor accidents. Repairing dings and dents can be a lucrative career. westsidefender.com
