Diesel Technician
& Mechanic Training

Essential: Before. Now. Always

Diesel technology is an important part of the transportation industry and qualified diesel technicians play an integral role in keeping the industry moving. At J-Tech Institute, we’re doing our part to meet the demand for skilled diesel technicians by offering a 91-credit hour, ASE‑based Diesel Technology Program with a curriculum that is designed to help students acquire the hands-on skills and confidence they need to launch successful careers in the essential industry of diesel technology.

At J-Tech, we understand it takes more than a solid technical skill set to succeed. That’s why our curriculum is designed in collaboration with industry professionals and local employers. We’re actively listening and communicating to make sure our curriculum has what it takes to prepare students for the realities of the workplace. And it doesn’t all happen in a classroom. J-Tech’s shop mimics realistic work environments, so students receive valuable hands-on training that is as real as it gets.

what our grads have to say

“J-Tech is literally one of the best decisions I made when I decided to go back to school. With the education they offered and the push for me to do things that I don't like to do to help better me in my career path now... It was a life changer, it was a good decision to come here.”

Myrna VasquezAutomotive Technology

"I decided to go to J-Tech because when I toured the school and saw they had all the latest and greatest gadgets and all the best technology at the time. If you are interested in going to J-Tech, don't sit and wait to think about it, just go. Everyone here is welcoming and will help you out."

“I left the military in 2014. My return home did not allow me ample time to prepare for civilian life. I faced some difficult roads when I started my school search and trying to get the financial side covered. But once I got to J-Tech it was totally different. They helped me along the whole entire process. I never had a hiccup.”
