After consulting and working with our industry partners, we were able to design a training facility that exceeded both students' and industry's expectations. The facility, built on three levels, offers 70,000 square feet of quality learning space including

  • 35,000 square feet dedicated to hands-on training in three Automotive Bays with the capacity to house 60 training vehicles
  • Six e-learning classrooms fully equipped with internet capability and laptop-ready stations for every student
  • Interactive SMART symposiums in every classroom which can integrate PowerPoint, the Internet, a Visual Presenter and the power of personal computing into every presentation

  • Modern tools and equipment including two geometry-based alignment machines and a radial force variation tire balancer
