Automotive Training Center-Exton in Exton

I'm a current collision student and I have to say our teachers are fantastic and very knowledgeable and not only teach us the required syllabus they teach us about the stuff that goes on in the real world. On the other hand the upper management is terrible they do not allow the teachers teach to their fullest potential by complaint over the most trivial stuff and not allowing us to do actual work and complain when we do work not related to our course. But it's ok if they school it self needs the work done then it's ok. The management it self is almost enough to make me regret my decision coming here

Terrible. I regret going to this school. I'm not proud to have said I went there because I feel like they robbed me. I will say the teachers are great people, but the school itself is a joke. I was in the marine program, the teacher mr brooks is great. His knowledge of all things marine is endless and he genuinely cares about his students, however if brooks is not in they have no one with marine experience to fill in for him. During my time at atc brooks had to leave for an extended period of time. We were made to sit and watch youtube videos. You couldnt leave or the time would be held against you. Before I signed up for this school I had a meeting with Chris in admissions and I specifically asked in an event where the teacher was not in did they have a qualified sub who actually knew about boats to fill in, he looked me dead in my face and said yes of course. Thanks for lieing to me Chris. Admission is also a calamity. They came to me saying I owed them $100.00. After close examination of the paperwork not only did I not owe them money but they owed me $100.00 that I over paid. God knows how many other people have had this happen and just paid it. When ever there is an event at the school classes are stopped and students made to clean the building. So you pay to be part of the janitorial staff. During my time at ATC there was a problem with students vandalizing the bathrooms. Their solution was to leave only one of the two bathrooms open. There were 3 stalls for hundreds of students. When I tried to talk to the administration about this they made me feel as if it were my fault saying " well stop your fellow students from vandalizing the bathrooms." Last time i checked they decided who was let into the school not me. Now onto the "job placement" or lack there of. I live in Jersey and told the school I would take a job anywhere from Longbranch to LBI. The response to this was well i dont know New Jersey so could you give me specific towns. I literally gave you more than half of the state, two minutes on google maps and you could then " know New Jersey." I found my job on my own with no help from them. Buy your own tools cause their tool kit is not worth the money. Honestly you might start with a little less but save yourself the debt and get a job doing yardwork or bottom painting and work your way up from there. I graduated in October, the graduation ceremony is April 24 ,a Tuesday. Guess whos not going. Yea let me leave work early during the busiest time of year in the marine industry. No thanks. So if all that doesnt bother you ATC is a great choice for you.

Great school if u put in the effort and make the most most of it, if u do, there's no doubt u will have a job before the time u graduate, good instructors and nice facility

if you're going for diesel i suggest you go elsewhere. all you learn about are diesel engines and a little about fuel pumps and injectors. nothing is taught about other systems. good school for automotive. don't believe them about helping you find a job after you're done with school. it's all hog wash
