GM STC Technical Foundation Curriculum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The GM STC Professional Curriculum is made up of multiple learning paths, each built for a specific service area or areas. This curriculum is where technicians deepen their knowledge and practice and validate their skills for STS credit. Completing learning paths on this curriculum is required in order to meet STS requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

STS Requirements<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

STS requirements for each of the service categories and Medium Duty are listed on the following pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each service category section indicates the course requirements for 2025 Dealer Divisional STS as indicated by the courses that appear under the Bronze, Silver, and Gold categories. The courses required to reach GM MTC in that service area include all of the courses in Bronze, Silver, and Gold and the courses under the MTC category. Required courses are needed to meet the Dealer Divisional STS and for certification. Supplemental courses provide additional content to enhance the curriculum and improve the service technician\u2019s performance but are not part of the Dealer Divisional STS requirements or certification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Dealer Divisional Service Training Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Service technicians who successfully complete all of the STS requirements within each category for a Division will earn Divisional Certification (Buick, GMC, etc.) for that Division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

GM Master Technician Certification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GM MTC, like ASE Certification, is common across all Divisions. Service technicians who successfully complete all GM MTC requirements within each category will earn GM MTC across all Divisions for that category. Since this certification is common, some courses required for GM MTC may not be found as part of the STS. Similarly, some courses required for the STS will not be part of the requirements for GM MTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service Category Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The following pages define requirements and learning paths (excluding Emerging Issues) for each of the service categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>please make note of those learning paths and courses that are required to achieve STS and maintain MTC\/WCT status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These monthly GM Service Know-How Seminars provide service\/technical information on current issues and GM certified repairs. In many cases, an Emerging Issues seminar may provide notification to technicians of a concern and the current attempts to address the related issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GM Service Know-How Emerging Issues seminars feature guest Subject Matter Experts who discuss, and\/or demonstrate, a service-related topic. Email questions from the technician audience may be addressed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Topics that may be of interest to Service Consultants are identified by an \u201cSC\u201d icon in the lower right corner of the screen. By calling out these topics, Emerging Issues hopes to help Service Consultants identify customer concerns that may not require a trip to the service bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging Issues is only available as a streaming video on GM\u2019s www.centerlearning.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging Issues seminars, and a great deal of other technical video content, can be accessed by logging on to www.gmglobalconnect.com<\/a> and selecting the Center of Learning website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
