Attention School Instructors!

We want to inform you of an exciting new program for your students. A few months ago AERA launched an Engine Rebuilding & Machining Certificate Program online. This program is an online, self-paced course with up to one year to complete. Gary Lewis’ book, Automotive Machine & Engine Repair is included with the $150 registration fee. So far 52 people have enrolled, many of them automotive students. Seven people have already completed both the Cylinder Head and Engine Machinist exams.

We want to make this more affordable for your students. Each AERA school member’s instructor can purchase one Gary Lewis book for $75.00 and all instructors and instructors’ students who sign up (register a minimum of 5 from one school at one time) will only be charged $75.00 each but will not receive their own book. The instructor will have control over the book and test.

Additionally, AERA has a letter that can be sent to an instructor’s Board of Education stipulating that a course of this type taught at the college level would earn between 4.5 and 6 credit hours. AERA is not an accredited educational institution but has evaluated this online course through DeAnza College where the same material is covered for similar course credit.

We think this is a great opportunity for students. If you are interested in finding out more about this exciting new certificate school program, please call the AERA office at 815-526-7600, extension 202 and ask for Karen Tendering or email Karen@aera.org. Karen can answer all your questions and, when ready, register you and your students to begin the program.

Sincerely,

John E Goodman
President CEO
