Cert in Heavy/Industrial Equipment Maintenance Technologies/Technicians

Diesel Equipment Technology is a diploma for students preparing to service and repair diesel-powered machinery. It is taught on the Americus campus. Students build the technical and professional knowledge that employers look for when they hire and promote. The program pairs repair theory with hands-on work, and students pick a specialization that shapes the second half of their training. The catalog names trucks, heavy equipment, marine systems and emergency power generators as the focus areas, so each learner can aim at the type of equipment that matches their career plans. On completion, graduates hold a diploma that makes them eligible for beginning diesel technician roles. Students can begin in any semester. Applicants need a secondary school credential along with a placement test result or SAT or ACT scores that meet college standards.
