General Motors Provides Access to Online Training for Returning Veterans

NORWALK, Calif. - June 13, 2013 - PRLog -- General Motors Service Technical College training is a worthwhile tool that not only helps service technicians improve upon their craft but also helps GM provide top-of-the-line service to its customers.

Cerritos College Automotive offers certificates, degrees and special programs in automotive repair, collision repair, alternative fuels, smog training, advanced transportation technology and automotive management. Cerritos College Automotive also offers a nationally authorized technician program for General Motors. This program prepares students for the workforce by providing classroom and hands-on instruction as well paid on-the-job training.

If you have been discharged or are within 180 days of discharge, you can register to access free web-based training that will prepare you for technical and non-technical positions at a GM dealership.  Upon completion of training, you will be able to print a listing of your course completions.

Two students, Ernesto Nieves and Matthew Ammons, enrolled in Cerritos College AT 179 class for Automotive Air Conditioning. “Normally the only way to obtain this online access is by being a dealership technician or a certified automotive instructor,” said Cerritos College Automotive Instructor, Joe Mulleary. “But by allowing veterans access to the GM training, our students and veterans will increase their marketability in the automotive workforce.”
