GM ASEP Option

Program Description

The General Motors Automotive Service Educational Program (GM ASEP) was created in response to GM dealers' needs for qualified service technicians. It represents a partnership between General Motors, the college, dealerships, and the student. This is a two-year Associate's Degree program that prepares a graduate for a challenging and rewarding career as a GM trained automotive technician. Upon completion of this program, the graduate will also be qualified to test for ASE certification.

GTCC is one of more than 50 NATEF certified colleges that offer this GM sponsored program throughout the US. Students in the program are sponsored by dealerships, and spend eight weeks out of every semester performing paid, hands-on, co-op training at that dealership. The course work is based on the same curriculum used in all of the Automotive Service Technology programs, but is focused on the service, maintenance and repair of GM products.

GM ASEP is a limited enrollment program.  In order to qualify for enrollment into the program you must meet college entrance requirements and be employable in the automotive industry.  Acceptance into GM ASEP is contingent upon being hired by a sponsoring GM dealership or ACDelco PSC (Professional Service Center).  Employment usually requires a valid N.C. driver's license and a clean driving record.  Applicants may be subject to criminal background checks and drug testing.
