The John Deere Tech Program is a two-year degree option under the Agricultural Power Machinery Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree.. The John Deere Tech curriculum balances classroom theory with hands-on lab work
and a paid internship at a sponsoring John Deere dealership. Students will study diesel
engines, powertrains, hydraulics, machine set-up systems, all while becoming proficient
in high-tech computer diagnostics, electronics, sophisticated AMS precision farming
technology, and proprietary John Deere systems. Students will acquire communication
and customer relations skills essential to a successful career as a John Deere dealership
service technician.
John Deere Sponsoring Dealership
Students in the John Deere Tech program must be sponsored by an authorized John Deere
dealership for their paid internship. Dealers provide students with a hands-on, real-world
experience for a minimum of 500 hours. With over 1,500 John Deere dealerships nationwide,
students will have a variety of sponsorship options. Students may request assistance
in locating a sponsoring dealership.
