NC Auto Safety Certification
This course is designed to meet the training and licensing requirements (initial and/or renewal) for the Vehicle Safety Inspection Program administered by the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles, License, and Theft Bureau.
Upon completion, a student will understand the rules, regulations, and procedures for conducting a vehicle safety inspection; be able to inspect a vehicle properly; and be prepared to sit for the state certification exam. Initial and recertification classes will be eight hours of instruction. The registration fee includes the workbook used during class. Registration is required.
GTCC recommends that students seeking initial certification take the Safety class before the OBD II class.
Students are required to:
- Bring to class an LT-310 form signed by the owner, partner, or officer of the inspection station
- Have a valid NC driver’s license to be certified to perform inspections
