A Technician Career Path
Your first position should not have to be your final position.
We want technicians to see a path ahead of them. The exact starting point may be different for every person, but the goal is continual learning, increasing capability and long-term career advancement.
01 Entry-Level Technician
New to professional automotive service? Start by learning foundational maintenance, inspection, shop procedures, vehicle systems and how a professional Ford service department operates.
02 Developing Technician
As your skills grow, so does the complexity of the work. Training, hands-on experience and schooling help expand your diagnostic and repair capabilities.
03 Ford-Certified Technician

We want you to become more valuable every year you work here.
A technician's value grows with knowledge.

That makes continuing education essential.
Chuck Anderson Ford's goal is to help technicians continue progressing through Ford training and develop the expertise necessary to pursue Ford Master Technician certification.
