Small Engine Repair Technology

 

Thank you for showing interest in the Small Engine Repair program offered at the Great Bay Community College located on our campus at Stratham, N.H. Our program is a non-credit program. We offer no degrees in Small Engine Repair Technology at this time but each student receives a certificate of achievement upon successful completion of the course. EETC and OPE certification examinations are available but only recommended to qualified technicians. We welcome these technicians to take our Certification level refresher courses of a 16 hour duration. All other courses include 8 hours of classroom and 24 hours of "Hands On" shop experience for a total of 32 hours. Students are encouraged to work on their personal project but adequate training equipment is available. We share the Nataf approved Automotive Technology laboratory and equipment so we are well equipped. Our present program is considered a self interest workshop primarily for preventative maintenance needs of the home owner with small engine equipment. A student who wishes to choose the Outdoor Power Equipment industry as a career will find our courses are of good introduction but many more hours of concentrated study and large expenditures in tools are necessary to gain qualified technician status. We are accredited by the Equipment and Engine Training Council (EETC) and the Outdoor Power Equipment and Engine Service Association (OPEESA) and are an Authorized Testing Center for their Technician Certification examinations. Our goal is to have our own facility at our Pease International Trade Port campus soon. Then we can offer a one year certificate program which would be transferable to a two new year Associate Degree curriculum. Interested people can register or receive more information by calling our Stratham campus at (603) 775-2207 or (603) 775-2218 or our Pease campus at (603) 334-6306 or online at www.greatbay.edu.
