Auto Body Technology III
In the global automobile collision repair industry, there is a growing demand for qualified
collision repair technicians. This course allows students to apply knowledge and skills learned in
Auto Body Technology I and II and may also be used as a capstone course in
which students may perfect their collision repair skills to move toward employment in the
industry. Students who successfully complete this program will be prepared to take an industry
recognized certification examination and will be prepared for postsecondary education
opportunities. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and
technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and
career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning
opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and
performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
Auto Body Technology III is aligned with the 2023 Automotive Service
Excellence (ASE) Education Foundation collision repair and refinish program standards.

The provisions of this act shall become effective July 1, 2013. To comply with the requirements, all career and technical education (CTE) auto body technology programs must be ASE Education Foundation accredited and the instructors must be certified by the National Institute for ASE.
