Considering Auto Mechanic School? Here’s Why You Should Take a Tour!
If you’re considering a career in the automotive industry, you’re not alone. Skilled mechanics are in demand, and formal training can be your gateway. “I’ve always been interested in cars. My uncles go to drag track and race,” recalls Mike Wilford, a student at our auto mechanic school.
A campus tour helped him decide to pursue his passion—here’s why it might help you too.
Why Consider Automotive Training?
The automotive field is an excellent choice for individuals who enjoy problem-solving, working with their hands, and staying on top of rapidly evolving technologies. Cars are becoming increasingly complex, with modern systems that rely on advanced computer diagnostics and specialized tools. This evolution means skilled mechanics with up-to-date training are more essential than ever.
By pursuing auto mechanic school, you’ll have the chance to build a future in a stable and dynamic field. Whether you want to work in a dealership, open your shop, or specialize in a particular area like hybrid technology, training at an institution like ATC can help you turn your passion into a profession.
The Benefits of Studying at ATC
ATC’s auto mechanic training program is designed to prepare students for success by blending classroom theory with hands-on shop experience. With 40% of the program dedicated to theory and 60% focused on real-world training, students graduate with the skills to tackle real automotive problems confidently.
ATC’s instructors bring real-world experience to the classroom, and Mike was especially excited to learn about vehicle electrical systems, a topic that sparked his curiosity. “The teachers did a very good and thorough job making sure that by the end of it, you understand all the calculations and everything that goes into the electrical system,” he said.
With smaller class sizes, students benefit from personalized instruction, fostering a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and individual progress is prioritized.
Why You Should Take a Tour of Our Auto Mechanic School
Deciding on the right auto mechanic school is a big step, and visiting ATC’s Cambridge campus can give you a firsthand look at what makes the program stand out. In our discussion, Mike shared: “After I dropped out of high school, I didn’t think that this career would be attainable to me, but I’m 30 years old now and was just looking for a change in my career path. I came across the ATC centre and once I took the tour, I just knew I had to go here.”
When asked what about his tour helped him make a final decision, he replied: “When I came in for my tour, there were people tearing apart engines, so I got to see firsthand everything that we were going to do, and it got me excited about coming here.”
During your tour, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the facilities, including the hands-on training shop where students practice diagnosing and repairing actual automotive issues. Seeing the tools, equipment, and environment you’ll be working in can help you visualize your future as an automotive professional. Taking a tour also allows you to ask important questions.
