What Is a Ford Senior Master Technician?
The Ford Senior Master Technician title is the highest level of certification a Ford technician can earn through the Ford Professional Technician Training Program (PTTP).
This elite status represents years of hard work, hands-on experience, and mastery of every major vehicle system — from engines and drivetrains to electronics and hybrid technologies.
Becoming a Senior Master means more than just earning a certification — it means becoming a leader in your field, trusted to diagnose, repair, and maintain the most advanced vehicles Ford produces.
The Training Path: Step-by-Step to Senior Master Status
Every Ford technician begins with core training and gradually advances through specialized courses and certifications. Here’s what the journey looks like:
1. Entry-Level Technician / Apprentice
Start by joining a Ford dealership, like Chuck Anderson Ford, as an entry-level or apprentice technician. You’ll work under experienced mentors while learning fundamental maintenance, diagnostics, and repair procedures.
Many new technicians begin through the Ford ASSET Program — a two-year college partnership that combines classroom education with hands-on dealership experience.
2. Ford Certified Technician
Once you’ve completed the foundational training, you’ll begin earning certifications across major vehicle systems, including:
-
Brakes & suspension
-
Steering & alignment
-
Climate control
-
Electrical systems
-
Engine performance
Each course builds your technical expertise and prepares you for more advanced training.
3. Master Technician Certification
After mastering all eight core areas, you’ll achieve Ford Master Technician status. This milestone recognizes you as a top-level expert in all standard vehicle systems.
4. Senior Master Technician Certification
To reach the pinnacle, you must complete all 550+ hours of Ford training modules and maintain at least five years of experience at a Ford dealership.
This includes specialized courses covering:
-
Advanced electronics and diagnostics
-
Powertrain and hybrid systems
-
New model training
-
Emerging EV technology (Mach-E, Lightning, etc.)
Once complete, you earn the distinguished title of Ford Senior Master Technician — a credential respected throughout the entire automotive industry.
Why Become a Ford Senior Master Technician?
Achieving this certification is no small feat — but the rewards are worth it. Senior Masters enjoy:
-
Higher earning potential – Ford’s top technicians are among the best-paid in the field.
-
Career stability – Ford dealerships always need skilled experts.
-
