A career change can be a difficult transition.
From being a college basketball player to a bass guitarist in a band, Rush has done it all. When the tour van would break down, he was the first on the job to fix it.
“I was looking at different mechanic schools and looked into Matrix. I knew it was the perfect automotive school for me.”
Time is Money
Length of the training or schooling has to be done in a timely manner fitting within your current lifestyle when choosing a new career.
A five-month program that is 80% hands-on with tools included and job placement is very attractive to most students looking for a career as a mechanic.
“It is awesome how quick both the automotive and auto body programs are. All the training I needed to be a tech was completed in five months,” explained Rush.
Hands-On is Everything
Hands-on training is essential in any trade school for the best results.
With more repetitions, students will gain the skills and knowledge to have success in the automotive industry.
“Whether it is mechanics or collision techs, it is a blast to be in the shop every single day working with all sorts of different cars,” said Rush.
