ATC automobile schools in Vancouver put you on the fast track to apprenticeship
In British Columbia, graduates of a Foundation program like ATC’s Automotive Wheel Alignment and Brake Service Technician can receive recognition for their training. They first need to contact the Industry Training Authority (ITA) and they may receive credits for hours worked with the number of hours credited at the discretion of the employer.
The Automotive Wheel Alignment and Brake Service Technician occupation is a trade recognized by British Columbia’s Industry Training Authority.
The Interprovincial Standards "Red Seal" Program defines an apprenticeship as "An agreement between a person (an apprentice) who wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker -- "earning while learning."
Apprenticeship is a proven industry-based learning system that combines on-the-job experience with technical training and leads to certification as a journeyperson. On completion of the training period, apprentices receive a Certificate of Qualification. On average, 85% of the apprentice's two to five years of training is spent in the workplace; the rest is spent at a training institution."

I decided to take a chance on the ATC and enrolled in the mechanic's course. Well, not only did I learn a lot about repairing vehicles, I also found a great career and employer at the same time. ATC has given me the solid foundation I needed to start off right in my new career.

I searched for a school that could take me but the waiting list was too long. When I contacted ATC they tried very hard to get me into a class right away. It worked and I started immediately. The thing that impressed me was the shop was well equipped and neat. My instructor worked very hard at making sure we were all on the same page.
