Applicants must acquire the needed technical know-how and gain direct, real world experience before qualifying for the over 100,000 jobs that need to be filled. WCC and T - Ten, the Toyota Technical Education Network, have joined together with the common goal of creating the best, most complete automotive educational experience available in order to meet these employment requirements in the Wiregrass area.
Students learn in both the traditional classroom and in the hands-on laboratory. Their facility is supplied with the most current vehicles and leading-edge equipment so students are sure to gain the skills they need for today’s market. Books, supplies, and required tools must be bought by the students.
Students finishing all program courses satisfactorily will receive a degree of associate in applied science in Automotive Technology. Students will receive a program certificate upon finishing satisfactorily all the Automotive Technology courses. The student's ability to perform the required functions as identified for this course is what admission is based on. They do consider reasonable accommodations.

Overall Graduation Rate and Transfer-Out Rate
The overall graduation rate is also known as the "Student Right to Know" or IPEDS graduation rate. It tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete a degree or other award such as a certificate within 150% of "normal time" for completing the program in which they are enrolled.
