Trackara Education
The automotive curriculum where every assignment is a real repair order.
Designed for automotive program instructors at community colleges, CTE programs, and trade schools, built to replace disconnected simulations with professional-grade tools students will actually use on the job.

The short version
What is Trackara Education?
Trackara Education is an automotive curriculum management platform for CTE programs, community colleges, and trade schools. Instructors build courses around real professional workflows like repair orders, OBD2 diagnostics, and inspection checklists, and students complete every assignment in the same Trackara Pro app that professional mobile mechanics use in the field. Grades sync straight back to your LMS through LTI 1.3 (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L Brightspace), and every graduate leaves with six months of free Trackara Pro so the tools carry into their first job.
The gap
Classroom tools don't match shop reality.
Most automotive programs are teaching on software that doesn't exist in professional shops. Students graduate technically trained but operationally unprepared, and spend their first months on the job unlearning everything.
See how Trackara solves this →Simulations teach the wrong habits
Students practice on tools that don't exist in real shops, then spend their first months on the job unlearning everything their program taught them to do.
There's no record of what a student actually did
Without structured digital workflows, grades are based on instructor observation and memory. There's no paper trail, making disputes impossible to resolve and competency claims hard to defend.
Instructors run two systems manually
Grades get entered twice, once in the curriculum tool, once in the LMS. Rosters come from spreadsheets. Submission statuses live in a different tab. Every semester is the same setup, the same errors, the same wasted hours.
From first assignment to first job.
A complete workflow that follows students from the classroom to their career.
Your curriculum, built on real workflows
Create courses around repair orders, OBD2 diagnostics, and inspection checklists, the same workflows students will use professionally. Build once and reuse every semester.
Students do the work on actual vehicles
Assignments are completed in the Trackara app on real vehicles, live OBD2 data, real repair orders, real software. By the time they graduate, the tools aren't new to them.
Grades flow back to your LMS automatically
Every submission is timestamped, documented, and reviewable. Grades sync directly to your LMS grade book, nothing to enter manually, nothing to lose.
What makes it different
All features →Diagnostic scenarios that build themselves
Instructors spend hours per semester sourcing realistic diagnostic exercises for students to practice on. Trackara assignments use live OBD2 data pulled from actual vehicles, every car in the shop becomes a scenario.

Trackara pushes scores directly to your LMS grade book via LTI 1.3, Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L. Rosters sync automatically. Nothing manual, nothing missed, nothing entered twice.

Every student who completes a Trackara program leaves with 6 months of full Trackara Pro access, no application, no coupon code, just built in. They walk in on their first shift already knowing the tool.
