GENERAL MOTORS/CERRITOS COLLEGE

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

The General Motors Automotive Service Educational Program (ASEP) is a two-year

automotive program designed to upgrade the technical competency and

professionalism of the incoming dealership technician. The curriculum is designed by

General Motors and Cerritos College, and leads to an Associate Degree. The program

involves not only attending classroom lecture and laboratory on GM products at

Cerritos, but also requires the student to work at a General Motors dealership.

The total program lasts about two years with approximately half of the time spent at

Cerritos College and the remaining time spent at a sponsoring dealership. Each

specialized subject is dealt with in the classroom and laboratory on campus for a

number of weeks, and is then followed by related work experience at the dealership.

For example, the first semester involves 9 weeks at Cerritos followed by 9 weeks work

experience at the dealership. After the dealership work experience is completed, the

student returns to Cerritos for another 9 weeks of courses, followed by 9 more weeks at

the dealership. This rotation system continues until the completion of the program. The

work experience at the dealership relates as much as possible to the course work just

completed at Cerritos. ASEP classes begin Fall Semester and selection of students

begins early in the calendar year.

All tuition, fees and textbook costs are the responsibility of the student. The cost is

approximately $2,000 for fees and $1,200 for books for the full program. Non-resident

students (out of state) may check with the Admissions office for tuition. In addition to the

fees and textbook costs, the student is required to purchase a prescribed basic hand

tool set if he/she does not already have one. The initial cost of the total set is

approximately $750 with an additional cost of about $400 to upgrade as the program

goes on. The student can select any brand of tools, and assistance in obtaining an

educational discount may be arranged for most popular brands. Check with your

sponsor and the college before purchasing tools.

Since the student earns while he/she learns, a considerable portion of the costs

involved in the program is offset.

The program requires much effort on the part of the student. The efforts are worth the

benefits. The skills, knowledge, and potential of those who complete the program are

far superior to most automotive programs. The balance of qualities obtained forms a

basis for development and progress within the dealer’s organization.

Remember, ASEP helps GM dealers train their future technicians. That could be you!

This Cooperative Training Program is allowed by Education Code 55252. Alternate

Work Experience.

Attn: Amna Jara

11110 Alondra Boulevard

Norwalk, CA 90650

FINDING A SPONSOR

IMPORTANT: You may speak to any General Motors dealership at any time about ASEP;

however, GM will not accept any sponsorship agreements until the applicant has completed the

required tests and interviews at Cerritos College. Therefore, do not ask the dealer to sign their

sponsorship agreement until testing and interviews are completed.

Key Points to remember:

• Some dealers may not participate.

• GM dealerships are independent businesses - they are not employees of GM.

• When looking for a sponsor, you are looking for a job and a career.

• Cerritos College and the GM Training Center will provide limited assistance in giving

guidance and identifying interested dealerships.

• We do not assign you a sponsor.

• As an ASEP student, you will be both an employee and a student. The two should never

conflict.

• THE INTERVIEW: You must call ahead for an appointment.

• Be Prepared: Be clean, be neat, and be confident of your skills and goals.

• Be sure the ASEP application has been completed as neatly as possible.

• Your first priority should be to convince the dealer that you will make a good employee.

• You may speak to the owner of the dealership, the general manager, or the service

manager.

• If you aren’t sure who to see, ask for the Service Manager first, then the owner of the

dealership.

If you are sure you want to be in ASEP, be confident and get busy right now. Don’t be

discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t land you a sponsor. If you want it, go for it!

ASEP UNIFORM REQUIREMENT

The General Motors Automotive Service Educational (ASEP) Program at Cerritos College is

comparable in function and operation to area automotive service businesses. An important part

of the automotive service business is for the employees to look professional, as they represent

the occupation in which they are involved. Employers also wish for their employees to wear

uniforms because of safety and because they allow for neat appearance and promote customer

relations.

One of the goals of the ASEP Program at Cerritos is to help students develop their full potential

to become automotive service technicians. In achieving this goal, the professional approach is

stressed — part of which is wearing a uniform. Keeping in mind the need for a professional

image, the following requirement has been adopted:

1. The student will wear uniforms provided by his/her dealership.

2. Uniforms will be worn whenever classroom or laboratory activities are being performed.

Compliance with the uniform requirement will be reflected in your evaluation received in

the course and can be a reason for not allowing a student to work in the class or lab.
