The Advantages of Evening Coursework at ATC

Auto Mechanic With evening classes, the part-time training takes place after the traditional workday. So, you can still keep your job during the day, then have the time for training. Make ends meet as you acquire the necessary skills to advance your career in the automotive industry.

You’ll learn from ASE-certified instructors who have experience teaching the program, with sessions divided between the shop and the classroom. Classroom activities will include courses on engine repair, brakes, suspension, steering, and more. Shop facilities will allow you to practice your skills on live vehicles using industry equipment.

The Automotive Technology Program

Aside from the different schedule, the biggest difference between the AT-EVE and AT-DAY programs is the course length and program hours. Automotive Technology daytime students can complete coursework in about 64 weeks. The AT-EVE program has fewer course hours but takes about 84 weeks to complete.

Essentially, repetition of task assignments is reduced from the full-time day program, with the difference in program hours. While day classes are different than night classes, these programs have a lot in common, including topics taught, shop work, and the careers you may be eligible for after completion of the program.
