NC AUTO INSPECTION (OBD AND VEHICLE SAFETY) CERTIFICATION

We offer two courses in this category:  
NC On-Board Diagnostics (OBD II) Vehicle Emission Inspection and NC Vehicle Safety Inspection

Upon completion of each course, you will understand the rules, regulations, and procedures for conducting an inspection; be able to inspect a vehicle properly; and be prepared to sit for the state certification exam.

• Classes are eight (8) hours of instruction
• Registration fee covers all material used during class
• Students must bring their own safety glasses 

The NC On-Board Diagnostics (OBD II) Vehicle Emission Inspection course is designed to meet the training and licensing requirements (initial and/or renewal) for the On Board Diagnostics (OBD II) Emissions Inspection Program. The NC Vehicle Safety Inspection course meets the training and licensing requirements (initial and/or renewal) for the Vehicle Safety Inspection Program. Both of these inspection programs are administered by the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles License and Theft Bureau. 

Course Details & Registration Information
