Course Rationale: The Collision Repair Technology program will prepare students for an entry level position in many automotive related careers. Our goal is to provide completing students with the tools they will need to be successful, not limited to, but including work ethics, as well as interpersonal skills.
Course Description: The LCTC Collision Repair Program is built around our industries most recognized supplier of technician training, I-CAR. In this class, students will learn the latest repair techniques available in the industry. LCTC is fortunate to have a facility that contains the tools necessary to achieve a high level of “true to life” industry experience. Students in this program will be trained on live projects as well as classroom experiences, which will bring them to a high level of technical expertise in the collision repair industry. A strong emphasis on work ethics and ethical business practices will also be taught.

Careers & Earnings: There are many different careers related to this program, which will be reviewed throughout the curriculum. The typical Collision Repair/Paint Tech salary ranges from $28,000 - $112,000 depending on experience, ability, and location.
Resources:
I-CAR Curriculum, as well as the instructor’s 30+ years of industry experience make up our curriculum.
Materials & Supplies Needed:
Safe attire for personal safety is to be provided by the student, with exception of one pair of safety glasses and a paint respirator. Dress code for lab work will be discussed in the safety curriculum.
Evaluation:
Student grades are based on combination of proper completion of lab projects, and the completion of their I-CAR curriculum. Each student will also be graded on work ethics and participation from day one of the program. As the school year progresses, student expectations will be evaluated at a higher level.
Students will receive 5 points per day for attendance and 5 points per day on work ethics and participation. I-CAR Assessments will be completed online and recorded in the gradebook upon completion.
Students are able to view their grades and attendance via the Student Portal. A link has been provided on the LCTC webpage -- http://camdentonschools.schoolwires.net/lctc
Grading Scale: Total points accumulated from all assignments will be used to establish the semester grade.
A 95% - 100% C 73% - 76%

Classroom & Student Expectations:
1. Students in the Collision Repair Program will be expected to sign a safety pledge (attached), before participating in lab activities.
2. Work in the classroom is equally important to the live work performed in the lab, so students are expected to participate in these lessons with enthusiasm or they will not be allowed to participate in lab activities.
3. As stated in the safety pledge, at no time will a student operate a tool or piece of equipment without prior training on the proper use of such.
4. Any tool or piece of equipment that is damaged due to misuse will be paid for by the party or parties that created the damage.
5. No vehicle is to be moved in or out of the lab area without instructor approval and supervision.
