How to Get a GMC Dealer Certificate

Do you have good hands and are you interested in a career in the automotive industry? The auto mechanic job is in high demand and even the entry level auto mechanic salary is very attractive to many workers today, especially if you start your auto mechanic career with a GMC dealer certification.

Not only are GMC branded vehicles very popular with American drivers, but since GMC is a GM brand, earning a GMC Dealer Certification will also mean you are a Certified Technician for Pontiac, Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac. This way, you will have the necessary credentials to work on a wider range of vehicles, giving you the ability to ask for a higher auto mechanic salary and better benefits, even if you don't have much experience yet.

There are three main ways to become a GMC Dealer Certification, including:

• Completion of the GM certification program at an auto mechanic school or other technical institute.
• Completed the GM ASEP (Automotive Service Education Program) training course.
• Completed one or more GM fleet technical training courses or completed the GM Service Technical College (CTS) program.

If you choose one of the first two of them, you will get a general education about all GMC and GM brand cars. With the third option, you can customize your courses to focus on individual models and/or brands to suit your specific needs.

GMC Certification at Auto Mechanic School

Working with the Universal Technical Institute and similar institutions, GM has developed a 12-week intensive program to give students GMC dealer certification as well as training on all other GM vehicles.

During the course of the program, students receive class time under the guidance of a certified GM instructor. They will also get enough time to complete online courses, as well as the opportunity to take advantage of hands-on learning. Just a few of the areas students study about in this program include:

• brakes
• Engine repair
• Maintenance and Inspection *HVAC
• Steering and suspension
• Diesel engine performance
• Electrical systems and electronics

GMC certification through GM ASEP

If you are looking for a job as an auto mechanic at GMC dealerships or ACDelco service centers, chances are your best bet is to enroll in the GM ASEP training course. This program is specifically designed to train students to be efficient and effective technicians in order to get auto mechanic jobs at GMC dealerships.

It combines hands-on training and experience with relevant core academic work to give you the best education to become a great GMC auto technician and get the job you've been dreaming of as quickly as possible.

Because GM has partnered with ACDelco dealerships and professional service centers, finding a local program is easy, especially if you're in an area where there are several GMC dealerships nearby.

GM Fleet Technical Training for GMC

On the other hand, if you're not interested in working in a dealership or repair shop, but you have a GMC fleet that you're responsible for maintaining, you can choose the GM Fleet Technical Training Program. These on-site courses are reasonably priced at $215 per student per day and can be focused on any area or vehicle you need help with.

You can also choose GM Service Technical College, a package offering that includes multiple classes and a more in-depth curriculum.

However you choose to become a GMC Certified Dealership Technician, obtaining this education and certification will greatly increase your chances of getting a better auto mechanic job with a more lucrative auto mechanic salary.
