So that dealers can develop an entirely new generation of technicians, GM offers training that focuses on exactly that. There are three levels in the training that begins in high school.
GM ASEP instructs students with an eye for technical skills to allow for servicing and maintaining GM vehicles. The program is comprised of the combination of GM, GM dealers, as well as educational institutions throughout the US and Canada. The focus is on GM products. GM ASEP allows students to change their schedules so that they can also attend college and work for a GM dealership (2-year program).
Upon completion the student will be rewarded with an Associate’s Degree in Automotive Technology, or a similar degree depending on the courses completed.
Included in the studies are the basics of math, reading, and electronics. Analytical and technical skills are obtained. Gaining the job experience is essential while earning their Associate Degree. GM realizes the strong education combined with the work experience is what creates a topnotch education. There have been more than 15,000 service technicians born at BM ASEP corresponding colleges and universities in the last thirty years.
