It’s no secret to a car lover like yourself – Vehicles are important to people. Vehicles play a key role in lifestyles across the globe and it seems they will continue to in the future. Many households now own multiple cars and due to the recession, they keep them longer. This means increased business for the automotive service and repair sector and more employment opportunities for all auto mechanics.

According to Statistics Canada, 96% of those employed in the automotive mechanic trade work full time and the average auto mechanic salary is experiencing growth.

One of the benefits of becoming an Auto Mechanic is the ability to “earn while you learn.” During the auto mechanic apprenticeship period, you will work in an automotive repair shop, where you will earn a good living while mastering the auto mechanic trade and working towards your automotive mechanic journeyman credentials.

Angelo De Ciccio Automotive Service Technician

I chose to come to ATC because I was referred by a student that was already going there and he enjoyed the program very much. The length of the program is good as it is fast paced and there is no time wasted. With this training, I learned the “shortcuts” that are used in the industry, while still doing the right procedures. And all instructors provide you with equal amounts of knowledge and instruction. The length of the stage is good too, and on top of that, the stage counts on your hours and you get paid to do it! The flexible hours and the fact that the program is offered in French and in English is a plus. What’s also cool is that the school still help’s you after you’re done your training.

Where I work, they saw what I could do. And that’s because of what I learned at ATC. Right then, they knew they could trust me.
