Emissions Training
Shasta College offers the training to become a licensed smog technician This includes Level 1 Inspector training, Level 2 Inspector training and the Update Training Courses. We use BAR-97 Technology including lab scopes and chassis dynamometers. We are recognized by the Bureau of Automotive Repair as a basic, advanced, and update training site.
The Engine and Emission Control Training is intended to provide students with fundamental knowledge of engine and emission control theory, design and operation. Students who successfully complete this training at a BAR-certified school will have met the first step of the Bureau of Automotive Repair’s training requirements for inexperienced or minimally experienced candidates for the Smog Check Inspector license.
The Level 1 & Level 2 Inspector training is combined with Auto 10, Auto 20 and Auto 21. To pass this training, a student must successfully complete the written examination (passing score determined by school) and successfully complete all hands-on assessments. Instructors must “sign-off” each student as they complete the required hands-on assessments.
