That’s cool man. I think the reason why that course is so expensive is because they have a full-blown garage and body shop on site with all the newest equipment. But yea, it’s a lot. I have dual citizenship and would consider going to the states if I found something more affordable. Someone mentioned UTI and WyoTech to me in California. And there must be a ton of decent community college programs out there as well. But you also to appear know a lot about mechanics, how did you learn that ?
Hi guys, thanks.
Ryan, your analysis is right on. I could do anything at this point. I guess I was instinctively drawn back to one of my first loves as a starting point. I like the idea of maybe running a customs shop in Florida or Cali. I’ve asked around at a few garages around here in the past, and generally they expect you to have prior experience or a formal training before they will hire you. Don’t know if it works exactly the same in the US, guess it depends on the place.
I started looking into schools around here. There’s ‘Automotive Training Centres’ and they offer a 6-month auto tech course, costs around $6000. Also have a refinishing course that lasts 4 weekends, seemed a bit short to me though. I don’t have my own garage so I’m not able to start practicing on my own machines right now. I feel like that would be a good starting point though. Love to hear everyone’s thoughts on all this.
