Auto mechanics course in GTA

Interested in learning more about servicing cars in general in a part time, class-room like environment (rather than tinkering on my own with a project car). Any recommendations? I've been told to try out the Centennial College auto mechanic course. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this subject? I'm generally not a DIYer.

Doing this partly out of enthusiasm for cars in general and partly to save me time and money from going to garages for basic service.

All of the licensed techs that I know went to Centennial. They were in the full-time apprenticeship programs though with specific car manufacturers.

I'm on the same boat as you. I love cars and wish that I did that as a profession instead but it's too late. Now I just want to learn as a hobby. I went to lovecars.com near Norseman and islington but they dont offer part time. Let me know if you find any part time spots.

Registered for a course

I registered for this course:

http://db2.centennialcollege.ca/ce/c...eCode=CEAM-932

Its a part-time certificate program called "Automotive Mechanic Introductory". The course I took is Engines Level 1. Seemed more fun than Air Conditioning Level 1.
