best t.o. mechanic school

I have no previous mechanic work and would like to start an apprenticeship. I looked into it a bit and have seen "automotive training centres" its in BC and Ontario. I'd just like to hear your opinions.

I called them up and theyre gonna send me brochures.

Its 6 months, for 4 hours a day... morning and eve classes... and tuition is around $6500.

Are they any good? Anybody here a (or know any) mechanic who graduated from that school?

Cuz I'm having doubts about these private career colleges. The price is pretty high. Any feedback. thanks.

its more expensive but its much faster, in cenntennial i think its a 2 year program where you have to take math english and other with it, and at the ATC school, its all mecahnics and they cover the same course that cenntennial has with the same book they use only in 6 months, so you get the hands on trainning started pretty quickly.

Canadian All Care College:

They offer an auto technician course that is 120 hours in classroom and 160 hours in the field placement. For around $2500.

if you want to learn a lot about cars and how they work , then find a small shop. You will be able to learn a lot , compared to some dealerships. But once you have a wide knowledge about cars , move into a dealership where they work on high end cars ( basically what im doing now).
