” I absolutely loved this school. Ive learnt so much in 10 months. Other colleges is a 2 year program with summers off and other time off given. Im married with children and could not take 2 years off work. The 10 months program was great. We had 3 hours daily of hands on training. They helped me get apprenticed at Lexus after graduation. My teacher was Rick and he’s so knowledgeable and patient. I really liked the software we used instead of books.i highly recommend this College. I did however see some bad reviews. If you’re serious and show up to class when you’re supposed too you will love this school. My overall experience at this college was amazing. “
” This private college is a scam, preying on students with false promises. When my friend and I first visited, he hadn’t finished high school, yet they told him, “That’s fine, just take our test.” I told them I had a diploma, but I never provided it—and they accepted me anyway, no verification needed. That alone raised serious concerns. They charged a $300 enrollment fee before giving an unprofessional, unsupervised English test with questions like, “How many numbers do you see?” They also mislead students about their diploma, claiming it’s equivalent to Conestoga College or Waterloo University, yet Conestoga told me they might not even accept it for apprenticeships. On top of that, they charge $16,000 for nine months with outdated equipment—including a single junk car for training. Worst of all, when I asked Bridget to see the classrooms and equipment before enrolling, she refused, saying, “You have to sign the contract first.” I signed—and only then realized how unprofessional everything was. I regret it, and I don’t want anyone else to make the same mistake. If you’re considering this college, stay away. I just want to share my worst experience at this private college so no one else gets scammed. “
” My time at automotive training centre in Cambridge was truly transformative, and I owe a great deal of that to the outstanding contributions of David, the School Director, and Rick Perkins, my teacher. David’s leadership created a supportive and inspiring environment that fostered my growth and learning from day one. His commitment to student success is evident in every aspect of the school. Rick Perkins is an exceptional teacher whose passion for mechanics is both contagious and deeply educational. His ability to simplify complex concepts and make learning engaging was crucial to my success. Rick’s dedication and expertise ensured that I gained a thorough understanding of automotive systems and skills. Walter Cumberland played an essential role by warmly welcoming us and emphasizing the importance of safety from the very beginning. His focus on ensuring that we understood and adhered to safety procedures set a solid foundation for our training. Together, David, Rick, and Walter provided an unparalleled educational experience. Their combined efforts made my time at automotive training centre in Cambridge not just informative but truly life-changing. For anyone serious about a career in mechanics, this school offers an exceptional path to success, guided by a dedicated and expert team.” “
