Ohio Technical College (OTC), a leading automotive training
school, is proud to announce a new partnership with
Edelbrock, LLC to create the Edelbrock Academy, a program
designed to give students a solid foundation in the building
and tuning of American muscle cars and performance
vehicles.
The Edelbrock Academy at Ohio Technical College will
provide students with the skills necessary to efficiently
produce a vehicle through planning, installation and
modification of the engine, suspension system, braking
system and drive train. In addition, the course will cover
engine performance modifications; installation of intakes,
exhaust, nitrous, carburetors, fuel injection, supercharging
systems and numerous additional Edelbrock products; and dyno
tuning and testing using products and equipment from
Edelbrock, LLC.
“We are very excited to be able to support America’s youth
with this legendary opportunity. To be able to give back and
provide resources to our future enthusiasts is tremendous”
said Christi Edelbrock, vice president of Business
Development.
Students will also gain an understanding of the aftermarket
performance industry by learning about the history of
Edelbrock and the Specialty Equipment Market Association
(SEMA). Upon completion of the Edelbrock Academy program,
the participants will receive a certificate signifying their
specialized, high-performance training.
“The Edelbrock Academy emphasizes our core
philosophy at Ohio Technical College of adding value to our
students’ educations so they are better positioned to enter
today’s automotive industry as successful, productive
employees,” said Tom King, director of Enrollment, OTC.
“For students interested in pursuing a career at a
performance shop, race team or specialty aftermarket
