The GM Automotive Service Educational Program (ASEP) is an associate degree automotive program designed to upgrade your technical competence and professional level to an incoming dealership technician. At Delta College, the program requires 6 full-time semesters of training to complete. Approximately 32 weeks of that time is spent in a General Motors dealership or an ACDelco Professional Service Center (PSC) repair facility. Each specialized subject is dealt with in the classroom and laboratory on campus and is immediately followed by related work experience in the dealership/PSC. This rotation system continues until the program is completed. This is a suggested enrollment sequence for full time students. It is suggested that part-time students see an advisor for scheduling assistance.
