Why Choose ATC?

Here are 5 reasons to choose Automotive Training Centre:

1

Sessions start every 4-6 weeks

Why wait until next September or January to start your training ? We’ve designed our sessions in such a way that you can begin studying in July, October or March. The Automotive Training Centre allows you to start when YOU are ready!

2

Day and night classes make it easy to balance work and school

You don’t have to choose between work and school with our day and night schedule. You can keep working full-time while you study!

3

Intensive programs for quicker access to the job market

Whereas a vocational diploma takes more than a year to obtain, our intensive programs can be completed in less than 7 months. The intensive programs also include a 5-week paid internship, which will help you get your foot in the door and land your first job as a mechanic in your city. This way, you save a year over traditional training, which means when vocational school students get their diploma, you will already have one year of work experience behind you and you will already have started making a living.

At least 50% of our programs take place right in the auto shop

Our training is very hands-on. Our goal is to give you all the tools to perform your functions as a mechanic as fast as possible. Our instructors are certified and experienced mechanics who still work in the industry. We review our auto mechanic training program frequently to ensure that it is up to date so that our students are qualified for the current job market..

State-of-the-art auto repair shop

Our shop reflects the reality of today’s auto repair shops. The students have access to cutting-edge equipment and can work in an environment similar to what they will find in the job market. We also allow students to bring their own cars to perform repairs. We want students to work on real-life cases as much as possible.

Christine Galligan Auto Body Collision Estimator

Hello,

My Name Is Christine Galligan and I have recently graduated from the Collision Estimating Course here at ATC .

When I started in this 13-week course, I didn’t know anyone, and I was surrounded by much older people. I came into the course with no knowledge of estimating or what it really was. I was scared to take the course thinking I wouldn’t like it or I would fail because it might be too tough.

During my time at ATC, I made friends who I will always cherish and met a teacher who taught me so much. I thought collision estimating was just writing damage and sending the report but there was much more to it than that, including the different types of damages and how to deal with customers and their cars. Overall I got through it with the help of my teacher and my fellow students. The students and I were all like one big Ohana. “Ohana” means FAMILY, FAMILY means no one gets left BEHIND or FORGOTTEN. We all had each other’s back and helped everyone get through it and that is what I needed.

I now can take the knowledge and skills I have learned and put it towards my new job at Craftsman Collision and take the skills to the next level.

I want to thank ATC for all their help, and to all of the current and future students coming into the school don’t be afraid that it might not work for you, because trust me, it will always work out. It may seem tough but you are tougher and stronger. Just put your mind to it and you will succeed. Here’s a quote I want to leave with you that helped me get through this course and it may help you in the future. “Don’t Let The Fear Of Striking Out Keep You From Playing The Game.”

Sincerely,
Christine Galligan, Graduate
