The Honda Automotive Technology program, otherwise known as
PACT (Professional Automotive Career Training) is a partnership
between Nashua CC, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda/Acura
Dealers. This associate degree program is designed to train
students for employment in Honda/Acura dealerships and prepare them for
ASE Master Certification. The training includes classroom theory,
hands-on lab work, internship at a dealer and general education components.
The technical instruction at the college is conducted in a professionally
equipped, modern facility. American Honda supplies the program with
vehicles, special tools, and access to technical data.
Graduates of the PACT program will have received more than 50% of the required
training to become a Honda/Acura Master Technician in addition to being prepared
for ASE Master certification. This is a significant head start into a career
with job security and high income potential.
In addition to the general admission requirements, the PACT Program appliccants should
be aware of the following criteria:
- A minimum of one year of high school Algebra is recommended.
- Basic skills in written English are required.
- A basic automotive tool kit and roll cabinet are required . A copy of the required tool list is available on the college web
site. The major tool manufacturers offer substantial discounts to enrolled students. The
college hosts a "Tool Day" at the college in late August for students needing tools or tool kits.
Depending on the tool manufacturer, approximate tool kit cost is between $1600.00 and $3000.00
- After successfully completing all coursework in the first semester with a 2.0 GPA,
students are then qualified for an internship. Students must maintain a CGPA
of 2.0 to remain on internship.
- All PACT students are required to complete the internship.
- All PACT internships carry a per credit tuition charge.
- Students must be matriculated into the PACT program to take HATN courses.
- A copy of a valid drivers license and clean driving record are required for admission to the PACT program. (See PACT Program Director for details.)
