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

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.
