NC OBD II Certification

This course is designed to meet the training and licensing requirements (initial and/or renewal) for the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Emissions Inspection Program administered by the NC Division of Motor Vehicles, License, and Theft Bureau.

Upon completion, a student will understand the rules, regulations, and procedures for conducting an OBD emissions inspection; be able to inspect a vehicle properly; and be prepared to take the state certification exam. Initial and recertification classes will be eight hours of instruction. The registration fee includes the workbook used during class. Registration is required.

GTCC recommends that students seeking initial certification take the safety class before the OBD II class. 

Required materials: 

  • Students must bring an LT-310 form signed by the owner, partner, or officer of the inspection station. 
  • Students must have a valid N.C. driver’s license to be certified to perform inspections.
