It pays to choose ATC’s wheel alignment courses in Vancouver

I decided to go to ATC because they were the only School that offered a timetable that reflected my needs. I was currently working and I needed a place where I could attend at night. I had found this out by doing some research on the internet and also I saw the ads in the paper. I did some comparisons to other schools and they looked to be just as good as any other plus the fact that they offer night school. When I arrived I found that the classrooms and the shops were pretty well equipped and laid out. The staff were all friendly ad the instructors were very knowledgeable. They had pretty much everything you need to get started. The whole experience I found was very conducive to learning. All through my course I worked hard and studied. At the end I am pretty sure I had top marks. From there everyone in the class had to go out on practicum. Most of them were out looking for a practicum host to employ them but I wasn’t. I already had a job so if I was going to get something out of this industry I wanted it to be really good. I didn’t work my butt off to get something mediocre; it had to be high end. I asked my instructors if they new of anything and one did. Because the instructors are from the industry they had contacts and familiarity with the different people involved. I was, at the time, just doing it for the reference. If I didn’t get the job it wouldn’t bug me too much. I was more after the experience. One instructor happened to know a technician at Auto West BMW and asked if they would take me in and allow me to do my practicum there. They agreed and that’s where I started. I went into it with the thought that this would be like a 5 week job interview so I worked hard. I did this to show them that I had a good work ethic and as it turned out I got 100% on my evaluation. Auto West didn’t hire me right away as a matter of fact they took 3 months to call me back and offer me a job. Even though they weren’t looking for any body at the time, they realized that the training that I had undertaken at ATC gave me the ability and knowledge to perform and learn at the level they were after for any employee. Now I am finishing up my last year on my Apprentiship and I am already a BMW qualified technician. In the shop I am Lead tech. and my future is full of possibilities. ATC gave me the foundation to develop my skill so I could so that I could aim high and fulfill a career that a while ago I only dreamed of.

After successfully completing the course, I was able to get a job at North Bluff Auto service, which is where I completed my practicum as a course requirement. The techniques and practices I learned through our shop time at the campus greatly impressed the owner and the technicians at North Bluff Auto. I am extremely satisfied with the level education I've received, and am greatly appreciative of my instructor.
