Auto Safety and OBD II

NC State requires a certification to perform Auto Safety Inspections and Emissions testing . Forsyth Tech offers both of these 8-hour courses. The courses can each be completed in one 8-hour day or two 4-hour evenings. Each course requires a separate registration fee. 

After completing each of the required courses and passing the state exam given in the class, Students will get a certificate. Forsyth Tech will mail the certificates to your local DMV and the DMV will certify you to do safety inspections and emissions testing.

The local DMV will do a background check before the certificate becomes official. You should check with the local DMV at 336.767.8808, if you are concerned with anything in your background that could void this certification.

The DMV requires that the LT-310 Form be signed by both the technician and the owner, partner or an officer of the employing station. Before you come to class, please fill out the form and get the corresponding signature. If the LT-310 is not signed by both parties at the time of class, this form will need to be completed and mailed back to Forsyth Tech (name/address information given at class) before it can be submitted to the DMV.

Students taking Auto Safety Inspection and OBD II who are not employed by a station can still take the classes.  The LT-310 form will be held by the DMV until a second form is submitted by the employing station.

This course is intended for auto technicians currently working in the field. If you are interested in becoming an automotive technician, Forsyth Tech has a variety of courses to get you started.
