Diesel Technology Training

Indianapolis, IN

In the heart of all things motorsports, the Indianapolis campus blends tradition with pure adrenaline. The campus has served the state of Indiana, and students from across the country, since 1961 – and we’re just 20 minutes from the home of the Indy 500. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the center of the racing world, and at any given race you’ll find diesel-powered trucks and equipment driving race cars to and from the track, maintaining the raceway, performing road repairs and more. Our Indianapolis diesel mechanic school puts you at the center of it all.

On campus, students have the chance to work on real-world diesel engines and the big rig machines they power. Students perform tune-ups, align wheels using computerized equipment, and service diesel fuel systems like Common Rail, Cummins and more.
