"My employer is extremely impressed with my knowledge of trucks coming right out of school. So far, I have tackled every service or repair job that they send my way."

“I chose Automotive Training Center (ATC) primarily because of the proportion of hands-on training students received (50/50) as compared to other automotive/diesel schools. I graduated from the Advanced Automotive Technology with a major in Diesel Technology. There are unlimited opportunities for diesel technicians who graduate from ATC and are willing to keep up with new technology.
The staff at ATC is amazing; that is all there is to it! My instructors were extremely knowledgeable about the subjects they were teaching. ATC's small classes allowed the instructors to assist each student individually. I believe that this training approach gave me a competitive edge in the job market.
I now work for a truck dealership, Five Star International. My employer is extremely impressed with my knowledge of trucks coming right out of school. So far, I have tackled every service or repair job that they send my way.”
