CURRICULUM

The Chrysler College Automotive Program (CAP) curriculum is designed to provide each student with hands-on experience both in the classroom and at their sponsoring dealership.  The curriculum at CAP colleges is based on the college automotive technology curriculum, modified to include Chrysler specific technology.  In addition to the student receiving an Associate Degree, successful completion of the college CAP curriculum earns each student a substantial number of training credit hours in the Chrysler Technical Training Skill Core Curriculum.

Academic courses are an integral part of the CAP curriculum at each college, ensuring the development of a more rounded and technically proficient individual as they enter the workforce.  Many of the same automotive course materials used at CAP colleges are used at Chrysler training centers to train existing technicians in Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep dealerships.

Below is a sample CAP curriculum, contact the CAP College of your choice for specific CAP curriculum requirements.
