Vatterott College Sunset Hills Offers New Program, Online Courses

The Vatterott College Campus in Sunset Hills now is registering students for the Automotive Technology Program. The program is designed to equip students with the skills necessary for a career in the automotive repair field.

The program offers hands-on training in engine repair, brake systems, electrical systems, and heating and air conditioning.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, as the number of vehicles in use continues to grow, “more entry-level service technicians will be needed to do basic maintenance and repair, such as brake pad replacements and oil changes. The increasing lifespan of late-model cars and light trucks will further increase demand for qualified workers.”

Graduates of the program will leave qualified for jobs at independent automotive shops, dealerships and companies with fleets that hire trained professionals to repair and service vehicles.

“This new program will be a great addition to our already successful curriculum,” said LeeAnn Edwards, Campus Director, in a statement. “Students will learn what they need to know to begin a successful career in the automotive repair industry.”

Vatterott Sunset Hills also is offering GED and MA exams online. The GED course is a warm-up for the real GED test that consists of five multiple choice tests and a timed essay. It covers the subjects of language arts, social studies, science, reading and mathematics. The material is based on topics students learn throughout high school.

The Vatterott prep course offers advice on smart test-taking skills, development of essential language and math skills, and feedback from practice exam scores.

The RMA and CMA are certifications that are considered the standard for professionals employed in the medical assisting field. Both certifications give a professional edge and may be considered as a requisite of employment for some employers. The Vatterott online course offers a personalized study plan, comparison pre- and post-test scores, and practice quiz section that provide extra questions and detailed explanations of answers. There is even a timed final test simulation.

Through online practice materials, Vatterott preparatory courses are designed to achieve successful results. The online course allows the computer to replace the classroom, permitting the user to study at his or her convenience with 24/7 access to course materials.
