This short-term certificate provides students with both theory and practical lab applications in automotive brake and hydraulic systems. Students gain experience in the diagnosis and repair of the following systems and components: master cylinder and hydraulic systems, drum and disc brakes, parking brakes, machining of brake drums and rotors, power brake units, and anti-lock brake systems. This certificate is part of a stacked program for an Automotive Technology AAS degree. When students complete all stacked certificates, they earn a 2 year associates degree in Automotive Technology. If students wish to take more certificates but less than the requirements for an associates degree, we have shorter certificate options in Automotive Technology.
