As part of our ongoing commitment to quality and excellence, we're excited to announce the launch of our Technician Apprenticeship Program. This program is designed to nurture the next generation of skilled automotive technicians, offering them the opportunity to learn, grow, and excel in a hands-on, real-world environment.
Elevating Skills with ATI's Accredited Training
To ensure our apprentices receive the highest standard of education, we've partnered with the Automotive Training Institute (ATI), a leading coaching, training, and consulting organization for independent automotive repair and collision shop owners. ATI's training program has recently earned the prestigious accreditation from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), setting a new benchmark for automotive service education.
ASE is renowned for its rigorous Continuing Automotive Service Education (CASE) standards, which are the gold standard in the industry. ATI’s program, which includes both live-instructor and self-study online training, has been validated by ASE, placing it among an elite group of organizations such as 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division, BMW of North America, General Motors Service Technical College, Toyota, and Penske Truck Leasing.
A Comprehensive Training Experience
At David's Automotive Repair, our apprenticeship program is structured to provide comprehensive, hands-on training, guided by our experienced ASE-certified technicians. By integrating ATI's accredited curriculum, our apprentices will benefit from a robust educational framework that includes:
System Qualifications:
Our apprentices will develop high competence on major automotive systems through a combination of ATI’s online courses, instructor-led training, and rigorous testing. This ensures that they are well-prepared to handle the complex challenges of modern automotive repair.
Levels 1, 2, and 3 Certification:
As apprentices progress through the program, they will have the opportunity to earn ATI's certifications by completing designated System Qualifications. These certifications are a testament to their growing expertise and dedication to the craft
Specialty Diplomas
: For those with a keen interest in specific areas, such as HVAC and electrical systems, the program offers Specialty Diplomas. These diplomas signify a deep understanding and proficiency in these critical areas, making our apprentices highly valuable assets to our team and the industry at large.
Meeting the Industry’s Demand for Skilled Technicians
The automotive repair industry is facing a significant shortage of skilled technicians, making it more important than ever to invest in the development of new talent. ATI’s COO Ron Greenman emphasized that ATI didn’t just meet ASE standards—they exceeded them, particularly in course design. This five-year ASE accreditation comes at a crucial time when in-house training systems are costly for many businesses. By partnering with ATI, we’re ensuring that our apprenticeship program not only meets but exceeds industry standards, providing our apprentices with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive.
