What Our Graduates Are Saying
“What set ATC apart from some of the other schools was their unique training approach. I enjoyed my time at ATC very much. I made some good automotive friends and learned a lot from everyone that I credit to my success today. What set ATC apart from some of the other schools was their unique training approach – we actually worked on cars and components every day. Since we were permitted to bring in our own projects to learn from, I rebuilt my transmission/transaxle while attending the Manual Drive Train course.”
