Program Description:
This program has been designed to meet the training needs of the local labor market by taking into
considerations the National Occupational Skill Standards (NOSS) for Automotive First Electrics
Trade. Training in this program includes general skills in English Language, Mathematics,
Physics, as well as Human Communication Skills and dealing with others. The program also
includes training on basic skills related to automotive electrical and electronic components and
systems and their methods of operation, and the fundamentals of automotive electrics and
electronics that would help the trainee in his career. In addition, the program provides specialized
skills in the field of vehicle electrics and electronics regarding maintenance and repair techniques
of automotive electrics and electronic components and systems after performing set of technical
tests on the vehicles. The training on how to set up diagnostic strategies for the electrical and
electronic system faults in the vehicle is also given.

In Technical Colleges, training in the major of Automotive Electrical Technology is performed


through 1729 contact hours, in addition to 420 hours of cooperative-training in the actual labor
market through cooperation between the colleges and industrial establishments, and governmental
and private sectors (like automotive agencies) that work fully or partly in the automotive field.

The graduate of this program is awarded an associate degree in the area of automotive electrics and
expected to work in civil and military establishments linked to automotive fields as Automotive
First Electrician.

General Objective:
This program aims at providing the trainees with hands on skills and experience, and the necessary
information required to exercise work in the field of vehicle electrical and electronics for the
Automotive First Electrics trade on the fourth scale of the National Vocation Qualification System.

Detailed Objectives:

By the end of this program the trainees will be able efficiently to perform the following:
1) Follow up safety procedures and instructions within automotive workshops before
commencement of any job appointed to him.

2) Describe basic vehicle systems, their components, functions, and methods of operation.

3) Use different specialized equipment in the automotive field to perform necessary tests on
vehicle components and systems.

4) Use maintenance and service manuals of different vehicle types and models, and deal with
automotive spare parts.
