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.

I chose L’École de L’Automobile because of the length of the program. Everybody there is willing to work in a team, to learn and to interact. I think that car fanatics and car lovers should go there. The program gave me a chance to learn a lot and it gives you solid grounds to start your career on. You learn quickly and the teachers are amazing! I would recommend ATC because I now have a good start in my career. I did not regret going to school, the teachers are great guys that know their stuff. The classes are not boring, you don’t spend your day reading books.

What is the overall feeling about your experience at ATC?

Amazing, just amazing. Speechless.
