Best Auto Mechanic Schools In Wyoming Ranked For 2026

WyoTech says students complete a six-month Automotive Technology core and a required three-month specialty program for a total of nine months and a diploma.

Training requires eight-hour days, five days each week for nine months. WyoTech says students spend half their time working in the shop.

Students use digital multimeters, lab scopes, scan tools, service information, automatic transmissions, precision measurement, transaxles, alignments, and ADAS calibration in the published core description.

WyoTech lists Applied Service Management, High Performance Powertrains, Motorsports Chassis Fabrication, Street Rod and Custom Fabrication, and Trim and Upholstery as specialty options.

The one-semester plan contains four four-credit courses: Engine System Fundamentals, Foundational Skills in Automotive, Engine Management Systems, and Automotive Electrical Systems.

The one-semester Service plan contains four-credit courses in drivetrains, brakes, HVAC, and alignment and suspension, plus one-credit Transition Experience.

Fundamentals targets G1, A1, A6, and A8 certification areas. Service targets G1 plus automatic and manual transmissions, suspension and steering, brakes, and HVAC; both use ASE-certified instructors.

Both diplomas are offered at the Cheyenne main campus. The college identifies Automotive Services as a route into the broader Trades and Technical Studies AAS.

Casper lists a 60-credit, two-year Automotive Technology A.A.S. and a 30-credit, one-year Automotive Technology certificate. The A.A.S. is delivered in person at the Neil and Doris McMurry Career Studies Center; the certificate is also in person.

Program outcomes include using wiring diagrams, digital multimeters, digital storage oscilloscopes, and advanced scan tools to diagnose vehicle faults, together with precision measurement and service-information research.

Licensed teachers and those teaching with a PIC permit can complete a set of automotive courses toward a career and technical education teaching endorsement. This option is for qualified teachers pursuing junior-high, middle-school, or high-school CTE instruction.

Automotive AAS graduates can apply the degree toward the University of Wyoming at Casper’s online Bachelor of Applied Science, providing a continuation option after the two-year credential.

Central Wyoming College lists 62 total credit hours for the Automotive Technology Associate of Applied Science degree, the program’s main credential.

Manual Power Train Fundamentals carries six credits, alongside a separate four-credit Automatic Transmissions course in the required automotive sequence.

The AAS requires three-credit Applied Math and three-credit Interpersonal Communication courses alongside technical work, building calculation and communication skills into the repair degree.

Four-credit Automotive Electrical Systems and four-credit Automotive Electronics are required, followed by two four-credit engine-performance courses. Vehicle labs support the program’s diagnostic and service instruction.

Western offers an Automotive Technology AAS and an Automotive Technology certificate.

Manual and automatic transmission courses are typically offered in both fall and spring. The listed electrical courses normally run in fall, while engine-performance courses normally run in spring.

Western says the Automotive Technology associate degree cannot be completed fully online because required general education may be online but the automotive work depends on indoor and outdoor laboratory instruction.

The automotive FAQ identifies Western’s Bachelor of Applied Science in Industrial Management as a continuation option after the Automotive Technology AAS.
