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.

Philippe Rufolo Auto Mechanic

À l’École de l’Automobile, si tu travailles fort, alors tu apprendras beaucoup. Les quatre heures de cours par jour passaient très vite et je serais resté plus longtemps. Cet horaire m’a toutefois permis d’occuper un emploi pendant mes études.

La bonne base que je suis venu chercher à l’École m’a donné le goût d’aller encore plus loin en faisant éventuellement des cours de niveau avancé au CPA. J’ai particulièrement appris beaucoup sur l’électricité, l’électronique et l’utilisation du scanneur. Maintenant j’aimerais en savoir davantage sur la transmission.

Mon professeur Michel a été excellent et je tiens à le remercier. Merci aussi à toute l’équipe pour tout ce que vous avez fait. Les 22 semaines de ma formation ont passé très vite et soyez certain que je reviendrai vous saluer !
