Trinidad State College possesses two campuses that offer Automotive Technology located in southern Colorado, one in Trinidad and its sister campus in Alamosa. Our programs offer the curriculum, mechanical and technological base to enable an effective career in the automotive industry. Our automotive courses begin a new semester every August and January with no pre-requisites required on entry level courses. TSC has impeccable instructors to facilitate student learning with low tuition and a 2-year program. From this foundation our students will be moving forward to a successful career in a short amount of time. 

Snap-On Tools allow students to participate in student excellence programs and receive significant student discounts for hand tools and diagnostic equipment. We also have relationships with other automotive tool representatives/dealers.

What will I Learn?
