Import Technician Training Program

ITTP/Cerritos College

The Import Technician Training Program (ITTP) is a two year automotive program designed to upgrade the

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

various corporations and Cerritos College. The program involves not only attending classroom lecture and

laboratory on import products at Cerritos College, but also requires the student to work at an import automotive

dealership.

The total program lasts about two years (six semesters) 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 the laboratory on campus for a number of weeks and is then followed by related work experience

in the dealership. For example a typical 18 week semester is involves 9 weeks at Cerritos College followed by 9

weeks work experience at a dealership. After the dealership work experience is completed, the student returns to

Cerritos College for another 9 weeks of courses followed by 9 more weeks at the dealership. Summer semesters are

12 weeks in duration; sessions are 6 weeks at Cerritos and 6 weeks at the dealership. This rotation system continues

until completion of the program.

All tuition fees and textbook costs are the responsibility of the student. Currently, California community

college tuition is $26.00 per unit. Additional fees may apply i.e. student ID, health, parking, and lab fees.

Since the student earns while he/she learns, a considerable portion of the costs involved in the program are

offset therefore, the program is practically free! Earn while you learn. However, the program requires much effort

on the part of the student. And the efforts are well 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 with the dealer’s organization.

Remember,

Cerritos College ITTP helps import dealers train their future technicians.

That could be you!

This cooperative training program is allowed by Education Code 55252, Alternate Work Experience.

Import Technician Training Program

Uniform Requirements

The Import Technician Training Program at Cerritos College is comparable in the function and

operation to the area automotive service businesses. An important part of the automotive service

business, is for 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 ITTP Program at Cerritos College 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.
