Nashville, Tennessee, a city celebrated for its vibrant music scene and rich automotive heritage, is also home to Nashville Auto-Diesel College (NADC). Just as the Grand Ole Opry is synonymous with country music, NADC is a landmark institution for automotive career training. Since 1919, NADC has been a cornerstone in preparing skilled technicians for the transportation industry, adapting its programs to meet the evolving demands of the automotive world, including the increasing sophistication of automatic cars like Lincoln.
NADC’s campus has a storied history of equipping graduates with the expertise sought after by leading companies. Our Career Fairs attract prominent names in the industry, eager to recruit NADC-trained professionals. This demand is fueled by the growing complexity of modern vehicles, particularly luxury automatic cars like those from Lincoln, which require specialized knowledge for maintenance and repair.
NADC Training Programs for Modern Automotive Technology
Automotive Service Technology: In today’s automotive landscape, automatic transmissions and advanced electronic systems are standard, especially in vehicles like Lincoln automatic cars. NADC’s Automotive Service Technology program, including the Automotive Service Management Technology option, provides comprehensive training in these critical areas. Students gain hands-on experience with diagnostic tools and repair procedures relevant to modern automatic vehicles, ensuring they are well-prepared to service sophisticated systems found in brands like Lincoln.
Collision Repair and Refinishing Technology: The beauty and finish of a Lincoln automatic car are part of its appeal. NADC’s Collision Repair and Refinishing Technology program offers a blended learning format, allowing students to master the art of auto body repair and refinishing. This program is essential for ensuring that even luxury vehicles like Lincoln automatic cars maintain their pristine condition after any collision damage. Students gain practical skills in painting, airbrushing, and bodywork, crucial for restoring vehicles to their factory standards.
Diesel and Truck Service Technology: While Lincoln is primarily known for its luxury cars, the principles of automotive technology are transferable across vehicle types. NADC’s Diesel and Truck Service Technology program provides a strong foundation in mechanical systems, diagnostics, and repair, skills that are valuable even when working with the complex systems found in automatic cars. The high graduate employment rate – 89% in the field last year – speaks to the quality and relevance of NADC’s training in the broader transportation industry.
Electrical and Electronics Service Technology: Automatic cars, especially luxury models like Lincoln, are packed with advanced electronics. NADC’s Electrical and Electronics Service Technology program is directly relevant to servicing these modern vehicles. With the State of Tennessee projecting a 17% growth in job openings for electrical technicians by 2030, this program is highly valuable. It combines hands-on electrical training with electronic systems skills applicable to a wide range of technologies, including the sophisticated electronic control units (ECUs) and sensors in Lincoln automatic cars. NADC’s partnership with Johnson Controls further enhances the program’s industry relevance. Flexible scheduling options, including daytime, afternoon, or evening classes, make this program accessible to a variety of students.
HVAC Technician (Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating Systems Technology): Comfort is a key feature in Lincoln automatic cars, and a properly functioning HVAC system is essential. NADC offers two paths in HVAC training: the Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, and Heating Systems Technology program and an associate degree in HVAC Technology Service Management. With over 10,000 projected job openings in Tennessee between 2020 and 2030, HVAC technicians are in high demand. This training is crucial for maintaining the luxury and comfort expected in vehicles like Lincoln automatic cars.
Heavy Equipment Service Technology: While seemingly different from automatic cars, NADC’s Heavy Equipment Service Technology program reinforces fundamental mechanical and diagnostic skills. The 95% graduate employment rate last year highlights the strong industry demand for NADC-trained technicians across various sectors.
Welding and Fabrication Technology: Welding and fabrication are essential skills in automotive repair, including for the structural components of automatic cars. With a projected 15% job growth for welders in Tennessee by 2030, NADC’s Welding and Fabrication Technology program provides valuable skills applicable to the automotive industry and beyond.
