The Construction and Forestry Technology (C&F Tech) program is designed to be a two-year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree. John Deere dealers from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia sponsor students. The curriculum follows the general HEATT curriculum standards, but the material focuses on the needs of John Deere construction equipment dealers.

Wake Tech is one of seven community colleges that provide instruction on John Deere construction and forestry equipment.
