Disclosures
CCBC cannot confirm whether the course or program meets requirements for professional licensure in states other than Maryland. If you plan to apply for licensure in a state other than Maryland, contact that state’s licensing board to determine whether the CCBC course or program meets requirements for licensure in that state. If you need assistance finding contact information for your state, click here .
While a drivers’ license is not required to enroll in CCBC’s automotive technology programs, not having a valid driver’s license will forbid students from operating CCBC owned or manufacturer partner program vehicles and will negatively impact a future technician’s employment and earning potential.
