School Notes
Denver Automotive Institute, as we were known then, held its first
class of 27 students in downtown Denver, Colorado in May of 1963.
As student population and demand grew, a Diesel Mechanics
curriculum was added in 1966. Within three years a newly-renovated
71,000 sq. ft. facility opened, fully realizing our new name:
Denver Automotive and Diesel College - DADC. Enhancing program
offerings and estabilishing credibility as one of the top national
educators became a priority. The consistent and regular refinements
we made met various NATEF requirements and we became a "Master
Certified Automotive School". Soon afterwards, we further enhanced
our programs by adding Associate of Applied Science Degree Programs
in Automotive, Diesel and Master Technology. DADC's Automotive and
Diesel programs can help you learn the diagnostic procedures
necessary to determine complex problems, fix them and provide
ongoing maintenance. In addition, you'll have an in-depth
understanding of why automotive and diesel engines work the way
they do, allowing you to better fix and maintain vehicles, and
provide a higher level of service. Using hands-on training, a solid
system of knowledge and our long-standing reputation with major
manufacturers and shops, we can help you jump-start your career in
the Automotive and Diesel Industries. Denver Automotive and Diesel
College (DADC) can offer you endless possibilities and
opportunities to pursue skiing, snowboarding, snowdecks,
snowskates, and other winter activities. DADC utilizes several fund
sources to assist students in paying for their education. Funding
is provided by Federal grants, various scholarships, Veterans
benefits, low interest Perkins (Campus Based) loans, low interest
Stafford loans, and by other fund sources specifically designed to
fund education to qualified applicants at DADC.
