These classes are for a general audience of teens and adults. Boy Scouts can earn the Automotive Maintenance merit badge by taking all the classes and students at nearby schools may be able to get extra credit if their professor agrees. Anyone who takes all 9 classes will have a better understanding of auto mechanics. Either they’ll be able to communicate with their mechanic better, they’ll be able to do more repairs on their own, and/or have a good start to a career as a mechanic.
