PROGRAM OVERVIEWThe Motorcycle Mechanics certificate program at Central Carolina Community College is the only program in North Carolina that offers a Harley-Davidson emphasis. The company fully supports our program through the donation of motorcycles (from Touring to V-Rod) and other items that are used as instructional materials in our certificate program. Central Carolina Community College provides students with the basic knowledge and the optimum training needed to inspect, diagnose, repair, and adjust Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Program topics include servicing, power trains, electrical systems, and chassis. Furthermore, students gain a thorough understanding of the operating principles involved in modern motorcycles through participating in class assignments, discussions, demonstrations, and shop practices.
