Ron Sutphin, the current owner, has been an instructor since it was founded in 1981 by Wayne Martin.
In 2009, the institute opened a second campus in Portland offering the same curriculum as its campus in Ashland. In 2019, the Portland campus closed, and the school once again became housed under one roof in Southern Oregon. The campus features two mechanics classrooms with custom-designed workbenches and professional grade tools.
After graduation, the school offers graduates certificates of completion and certifications depending on the class and whether the student passes exams.
