Maryland Safety Inspectors work in an automotive repair or service facility. They inspect and monitor transportation equipment, vehicles or systems to ensure compliance with state regulations and safety standards. Automotive technicians can get multiple certifications and become master technicians or world-class technicians. Technicians can also become supervisors, owners, inspectors and instructors.
CCBC offers two classes to help experienced automotive technicians prepare for Maryland's written and hands-on safety inspection exams. These classes are not required for the exam, but are offered to help technicians prepare for the exams.
Skills for success include high work ethic, attention to detail, ability to work with heavy machinery, and mechanical aptitude.
Career Outlook - According to the U.S. Department of Labor, overall employment of automotive service technicians and mechanics is projected to decline 2% from 2020 to 2030 in Maryland. Projected annual job openings in Maryland are 1,240. Additional career information may be found in Career Coach: https://ccbcmd.lightcastcc.com/.
