Mission Statement

EAST’s mission is to provide convenient, accurate, timely, and enjoyable, leader-led training for professional in-service technicians. Training that is performance-based and measurable by an increase in the technicians’ knowledge, productivity, profitability, and quality of repair services offered.

Course Curriculum
Courses are developmentally articulated, which means that each course, and each semester, builds upon the previous. Each course contains hands-on training, either on simulators, electrical boards, electronic breadboards, or on-car demonstrations and exercises. Students will be asked to bring their own small equipment (DVOM, DSO, Scan tool etc.) depending on class subject. The instructors are experienced in the use of all major brands of equipment used in the industry and can show you many tips and techniques to get greater understanding and service out of your equipment to improve productivity. EAST curriculum is designed for professional, in-service technicians with a minimum of 2 years field experience.

Recognition
Upon completion of each course a personalized certificate will be awarded. All Classes are ASE/NATEF Certified through CASE (Continuing Automotive Service Education). If the course is successfully completed, CASE CEU’s will be awarded along with a Certificate of Achievement. If the student attends the full course, but does not pass the final evaluation, a Certificate of Attendance will be awarded.

Local Training
EAST establishes local training regions, which will keep your travel to a minimum. There will be a total of 10 nights of training scheduled for the semester, presented in 2 night modules, spread over a 6 to 10 month period. Classes begin at approximately 6:00 PM and conclude at 10:00 PM. Once a region has been established in your area, dates for the entire year will be provided. You will know exactly which courses are scheduled, when and where all courses will be presented.  (Daytime, weekend, and T3 classes can be scheduled by special arrangement.) A minimum number of shop participation is required to establish a training region. If you would like to sponsor a training region in your area, contact our office for information.
