Corry Higher Education Council

The Inspection Regulations and Procedures course with instructor Eric McCray will prepare you to take the test required for certification as an official Vehicle Safety Inspection Mechanic in PA. The Tools Course is designed to prepare students for the tactile, written and base of the licensing process. Students will be tested in 3 areas (base, category written, and category tactile) and must receive at least score 80% to pass. Students will have two attempts at each portion of the test to pass. If a student fails any of the testing categories twice, they will be required to retake (and pay) the PA State Inspection and Tools course. No refunds will be issued for the first attempt at the class. Additionally, to receive your motorcycle inspection license, you must have a valid motorcycle license prior to class. This course will be held in the automotive technology center of the Corry Area Career & Technology Center at the Corry Area Middle-High School (534 E. Pleasant St., Corry). Participants must be 18, have a valid driver’s license and a mechanical background.  The required five sessions will be held in 2026 on October 19 (Mon.), 20 (Tues.), and 22 (Thurs.) from 4:30-8:30 p.m. and October 26 (Mon.) and 27 (Tues.) from 4:30-7:30 p.m.  Certification categories are cars/light trucks, motorcycles, and heavy trucks.  The cost is $260 for one inspection category, $300 for two inspection categories, and $340 for all three categories.  Retests are $40 each.
