Central Texas College is one of the most qualified institutions in which to learn diesel training. With our highly-trained personnel, state-of-the-art equipment and top-notch facilities, students receive the highest level of education available.

America is dependent on vehicles, machinery and equipment run by diesel-powered engines. Diesel trucks transport goods, foods and materials throughout the country. Diesel buses provide transportation for millions of people locally and transcontinental. Diesel farm equipment is used for planting and harvesting crops. Construction of roads, buildings and other structures is made possible with diesel-powered equipment. Large power plants, ships and other marine operations also make use of diesel-powered engines.

This program offers different pathways, and you can choose your final destination. Students may pursue an associate degree or certificate. The certificate develops skills for more immediate employability. The associate degree adds additional specialized coursework along with more general academic courses.

This competency-based program allows you to begin at any time and work at your own pace with convenient hours to fit your schedule. The certificates of completion within this program provide flexibility to accommodate the special needs of each student.

The program is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in the diesel repair field. Students are taught using a “systems” approach (engines, aftertreatment, power trains, hydraulics, etc.) which allows you to enter any one of the many separate fields of diesel repair. The program provides entry-level, industry-validated, hands-on instruction in using the latest technologies in diesel technology.
