Why Choose ATC?

Here are 3 reasons to choose Automotive Training Centre:

Rapid access to the job market

While an EPD lasts more than a year, our intensive program lasts less than 7 months. These 7 months include 5 weeks of paid internship, which allows you to get your foot in door with the automotive world in Montreal. You thus earn 1 year on a traditional training: while DVS students receive their diploma, you will already have one year of experience and will have started to earn your living.

At least 50% of the time spent in the workshop

Our trainings are above all practical. Our goal is to enable you to perform your duties as quickly as possible. Our instructors are certified and experienced mechanics still working in the industry. Our auto mechanics program is therefore always revised to stay on top of the latest developments and make you a sought-after profile.

A workshop at the forefront of the mechanical industry

Our workshop reflects the reality of today’s garages. It includes state-of-the-art equipment that allows our students to work in an environment similar to the one they will find at the end of their training. In addition, we allow our students to bring their cars in for repairs. Our goal is really to work with them on cases that are as real as possible.

David R. Lennox Transportation Operations and Dispatching

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at the ATC for their dedication to the Dispatching & Transportation Operations program. When I first walked through the front door I was greeted by Rebecca, Ricardo, and then it just got better. Once in the classroom, Jerry made us feel like we were going to conquer the world.

When I first started I wondered what had I gotten into, but as the weeks went by and I immersed myself in the weekly segments, I found that I could learn and retain what Jerry was trying to teach us. Jerry’s vast knowledge of the trucking industry was very much appreciated and made it so that I wanted to learn more.

Jerry seemed to like giving us lots of tests, but in the end it paid off, with 19 weeks in class, 4 weeks out in practicum, and then a final week to refresh and study for the final exam was very fulfilling.

I also enjoyed how all the staff encouraged us to stick with it and that in the end it would be worth it, and would take the time to talk with us even though we were all very busy.

Once again, thank you for all the help!
