At first my cousin talked to me about this school and told me it was really good. When I came to Montréal, I saw that this program was really interesting. The way the instructor teach us the program, it’s made for people that want to work in the trade. Our instructor, Michel, is a really good guy. He made us practice enough so that we are ready to get in the trade.

One day my cousin saw me work on her car and she thought it was really interesting; I told her that I learned everything at Automotive Training Centres. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give ATC an 8.5!
